Christmas Eve

I'm sitting here this morning on Christmas Eve in a quiet house before all the chaos starts..My husband is at Starbucks with his "buddies" and Kristen and Zach are still in bed It's 7:30 and the sunrise is beautiful..very light orange/pink on a blue sky
I'm blessed with the life God has given me It hasn't always been easy..in fact this has been a hard year at times..but I've learned how to trust God as well as my family and friends
I have a great job I've worked at Miami Valley Hospital for 23 1/2 yrs They have been good to me I have the greatest team to work with in diabetes education from my secretary up to my medical director
I have a great family..I've had to let go with Kristen going away to college and I've had to learn to compromise at times and bite my tongue :)
I've had some struggles with my health...I found out in Sept I have a herniated disc at the c5-c6 level..time has helped the healing process as well as prayer from very special friends I've received 3 steroid injections from a pain specialist,Dr Townsend Smith, as well as physical therapy from an amazing therapist, Laura Price which has helped tremendously..I am even starting to get some feeling back in my thumb
I have grown closer to God this year Alot of that has to do with 3rd Place..I have learned about Christ but more importantly I have learned what true "church family" is I look forward to that group every Monday
I have been blessed with some very special friendships..friends who know when I'm hurting..who I can talk to anytime,day or night(the advantage of IM on the computer :), and who have helped me realized what true friendship and love are all about
It's fun to open presents but God has given me all the gifts I need this year
