Ouch, ouch, and more ouch!

Big sigh, little sigh.
What begins with sigh?
A migraine, a cold and sore throat begin that way.
Sigh, sigh, sigh!


Last Monday begin in a blur for me. Literally a blur with fuzzy vision and a pounding headache. I know the signs, can tell it from the first blur. A migraine was setting in. It was Thanksgiving week and my gratitude post should have been posted for sure this week. But it would have to wait - until the pain subsided. Thanksgiving came with another sigh this year. I was feeling sick from the get go. Just your normal cold symptoms of achy body, sore throat, head ache, etc. Then it hit Robbie. Then CH and then back to Mom again! No time for thanksgiving on line - a full weekend of rest was in order! Sunday ended with another migraine at bedtime, and Monday (today) rang in with yet another fresh migraine. Sigh, sigh, sigh. But, I have decided to praise Him through the blur this morning! It does my soul good to stop and give thanks, especially when I am feeling blah!
