Counting down the days

I’m hopeful that by this time next week surgery will be over, and I will be in the beginning hours of the healing process.

I’m hoping to fill these next few days of waiting for the big day by marking things off my “to do list” and spending time with friends.

Today was one of those day when encouragement came from many directions, including a Chick-fil-A breakfast with a friend, a surprise in the mail (a devotional book I’ve been wanting), a phone call from someone who’s been through a similar procedure, a visit from a sweet friend bearing flowers, and a little blue duck left on my Jeep.
