The last couple of days have been frustrating, and I am feeling tired of health issues.
My eyes took a downhill turn a few weeks ago and haven't improved. And I haven't said anything about this on FB, but for the last several months, I have been dealing with some cognitive (mostly short-term memory and processing) issues. After testing showing no tumor 
🙂 the neurologist and oncologist decided it would be good to do an extensive neuro evaluation in early December. Chemo brain? Chemo-related? Something else? We don't know.

I've been doing okay processing through that stuff and adjusting life to deal with it - so who would think that an ear infection would put me over the edge???
Last week, my ear started hurting so I went to the doctor. Got an antibiotic and went on my way - but by this weekend, it was clear that my ear wasn't improving. I went to church Sunday but left before the first service had barely started because my ear hurt so much. This morning we headed back to the doctor and it was worse - so I got a shot, another antibiotic and ear drops and I am feeling better.
I told Tony that I have felt a little depressed over the last 24 hours. So frustrated and impatient and sick of being sick and wondering when life will be "normal"?
Tony is my best friend; he is also pretty smart and good at reminding me of the things I forget. 🙂 He told me how sometimes we go through things and we may never know why, but we can always be sure that God will use it for good if we will let Him. I knew that - but definitely needed the reminder. Maybe you do, too. 🙂 My joy today feels a little like this happy face I drew the other day (sometimes happy faces look different when your vision is being crazy!) - but I will keep choosing joy. And I am so thankful for words of comfort when we are needing a reminder of God's nature!!

"God is good in the shadows. He is good in the sunshine. He is good. And as you walk through the darkest days, He is with you. He loves you.... Cling tightly to His Word, and let it set the pace for your life. Run to the One who created you, made you, and called you. Gather with the church and surround yourself with people who will speak life over you and encourage you to keep walking, to keep loving, to keep giving, and to not lose heart." Jennie Lusko
