Friday Thirteen

It is said an Eastern monarch once charged his wise men to invent him a sentence to be ever in view, and which should be true and appropriate in all times and situations. They presented him the words: 'And this, too, shall pass away.' How much it expresses! How chastening in the hour of pride! How consoling in the depths of affliction!."~Abraham Lincoln

Today I am grateful...

• that we finally got to the root of Randall's episode. Large doses of Immodium can cause certain brain functions to cease. He took a very large amount Sunday to counteract diarrhea, which led to his not being able to stay conscious. It slowed his breathing to five times per minute and put him in danger. The pneumonia is probably from his aspirating his own saliva.
• for patience to get to the cause
• for cute, nelly waiters with plucked eyebrows, make up and false eyelashes
• that today I do not fear Jason Voorhees
• for this day and all it will bring, it promises to be busy, again
• for the new topic on Sobriety Society
  

God is never in a hurry. ~unknown

There is one thing worse than waiting on God... it's wishing you had. ~unknown
