Dede was kind enought to find a picture that kind of describes how I am feeling about this last week. After being sick for almost a week my husband talked me into going in to see the Dr. I went (on Valentines Day) but only because I couldn't stop coughing....which is directly tied to my gag reflex and some lower bladder muscles.....anyone who has had 4 children I am sure can relate. I went in and found out that I have pneumonia. The good news is now I am starting to feel a little better but very tired. Now for the worst part of my week. My stake decided that it was time to redo the boundry lines for all the wards in our stake. I knew this would not be a good thing for us. We were put in the 2nd ward about 8 years ago. At the time the boundries did not make much sense. So we knew it would only be a matter of time before it changed again. But we were lucky and for 8 years we were in the best ward I have ever been in. I had lots of really good friends and I felt that my muscial "talent" was really put to use. Even though for the last week I knew that this was probably going to happen and I tried to prepare myself....when the announcement was actually made....well we will say I am a little sad. I know that this doesn't erase the friendships that I have but I also know that things change and I am now out of the loop. Which is the part that is the hardest for me....I loved being a part of the 2nd ward and it is not easy to start over. So to all of my friends ...I haven't moved and we still have bookclub and hopefully there will be other occasions to get together and chat. I am still hoping to play piano and flute duets with Emily....so if the 3rd ward needs a special musical number....just let me know.
As for the new ward I am hoping that new experiences await and I will find my place in this ward and who knows maybe my place won't be behind the piano or organ. I love all of you and you will never know..... (except for Dede who has had to listen to me cry the last couple of days,) how much I lean on your friendship. I promise that my next entry will be much happier!!!! I will have Dede find my a picture of a sun!!!!
