an exercise in endurance and perseverance

not been feeling great the last couple days.

well, tonight, i went for a short walk to wal-madness, and while there i started feeling considerably worse.... and tho i'd been offered a ride home by a friend i ran into there, i must have missed her by a little bit. so i had to walk. feeling so woozy, the walk home was especially challenging.

it must have taken three times as long as it usually would.... each step was having to be very deliberate, one more step, one more step, one more step. i felt woozy, but i knew if i felt like i was going to pass out or something i could call someone on my cell, so i just kept going. i kept thinking, 'endurance! endurance! endurance!', lol....

one step, one step, one step. it was like i was slogging up a steep hill and was maxed out, but i was on level ground. i was, however, blessed with a fabulous view - to the southeast the sky was blue with 'simpsonesque' clouds, of the sort you see in the intro to the simpsons show. to the west was a sky full of dark mysterious clouds, a heavy grey mist low in the mountains, and great heaps of sooty puff balls in the sky.

and God's grace was with me. the first raindrop i felt was just as i was turning in to my driveway. when i got upstairs and next looked out the window, it was pouring rain. fabulous.
