LONG POST ALERT!!
I got back to Memphis on Thursday morning and went straight to the eye doctor. The bleeding in my eye isn't due to any retinal issues; it's another area and it will heal on its own, so it was all good news.
The reason I wanted to come back home to see the doctor was that if it had been a retinal detachment (I had three retinal tears last year so that was a real possibility), the fix would have been a surgery like the macular surgery with a bubble n my eye and some down time. SO glad that wasn't the way it worked out!! 🙂
I haven't done much but sleep since I got back - I can't do the "awake for 40 hours at a time" anymore! But it's so good to be home with my boyfriend! 🙂
Which brings me to this song - Good Times by Hollyn; a part of the lyrics are below. I really love her music and her transparency. She recently married the son of the pastor from the church where Mindy and Michael served in Texas, and this video features the two of them and it's awesome.
Tony Boyd and I could have made this video (although I don't think we would have looked quite this cool!) 😊😊😊😊🙂 But a benefit of having stage 4 cancer - you focus much more on the people who are important in life.
Tony and I are absolutely having the most fun ever. He is my favorite person, and although he was ALWAYS nice to me, I definitely realized at some point along the way that I was often nicer to other people than I was to him. I think you can relate - the people at work or outside our home get the "nice" version, and we come home where we can "be real" and don't show appreciation for the people we are closest to. That is a mistake - the people who should get the very best of us, are the people living in our home. They are the family that God gave us and we should treasure them.
If we don't take our spouses for granted, and instead treat them with the same concern and priority as we did when we were dating, our relationship will be so much more fun and special. That's the way God planned it. 🙂
Good Times
Got the best seats in the house
You and me on the couch
Being us and laughing, loving your eyes
Travel 'round all over town
Wondering What do we do now?
Since I'm leaving in the morning for a while
Take my hand
Don't wanna let go
So I take your hand
Don't wanna let go
Let's talk about the good times
Let's talk about the good, good times
'Cause all we got is in this moment
Take it in while we can hold it
Baby, good times, yeah
After dark, out on the swings
Just me underneath the trees
Telling me you've never felt so alive
Everybody says you'll know
When you find the one He chose, baby
It's like you've known me all of my life
Take my hand
Don't wanna let go
So I take your hand
Don't wanna let go
Let's talk about the good times
Let's talk about the good, good times
'Cause all we got is in this moment
Take it in while we can hold it
Baby, good times, yeah
