This Monday's Blues

Today marks the fourth week since I injured myself. I'm getting around a little better but not well. I've got to be so careful of how I move my leg. It has especially settled in my knee now. My shin hurts too. I've got to do so much in this week and then get ready for Ash Wednesday. The day after that I've got to take my puppy to the vet. I just really have had to exercise my patience, waiting to be healed. It's really really hard for me. I don't remember the last injury taking this long. It did, but I don't remember it, probably because I was much younger and I took it like a woman. Now that I'm older I don't want to take it at all! I remember my dad being so impatient at just having a common cold. I think I understand now that it was because he had a life and he didn't want to spend it with a miserable cold. What I have of course is more than the common cold but still, it bugs because I simply can't work like I normally do. By the Grace of GOD I will wait it out until HIS will be done in HIS time and not mine. In the last year I've been learning that I am not in Control after all. I haven't after all these years been doing it all by my self. I had Divine help.
