Tomorrow I have an appointment with the eye Dr.
I am so frightened, even though it is irrational to feel that way. I used to be as tough as nails, but ever since Lee passed away I just do not have the self-assurance, or confidence or whatever you want to call it–that I used to have. I feel very vulnerable and just about everything scares me. I have read that this is common when grieving 
and will pass, but right now its a big pain.
To boot, we will be having our first snow of the year tomorrow morning.
I can’t drive there of course because my eyes will be dilated on the way home. Now I can worry about getting a cowboy cab-driver.
See what I mean?
There are a couple of things that I have to attend to, as much of my medical and personal stuff were bumped during the time he was so ill.
Anyway, I just wanted you all to know.
Please pray that I get a little confidence.
God bless everybody
Patty
It is normal to feel a bit vulnerable at times like this. It will pass.
One way that I try to use when I deal with daunting tasks, is to remind myself that I’m going to get through it, and try not to worry about what can go wrong, but instead to remind myself that I’ll be able to deal with whatever comes along, when it comes along. So far, it works for me.
The human tendency is to bundle small challenges into one big challenge, but we usually do better when we take small steps and take these one at a time.
Thank you and I will try to think of how relieved I will be when it is over.
You will be relieved. I’m certain of it.
I am, indeed.
Praying for you, Patty, that the Lord will be your guide and your loving Shepherd tomorrow for the eye exam. That you will get a good driver to take you there and bring you home, even with the snow (if you are able to go).
Thank you so much. I shouldn’t be this nervous, but I am.
