Although things are not perfect

Because of trial or pain

Continue in thanksgiving

Do not begin to blame

Even when the times are hard

Fierce winds are bound to blow

God is forever able

Hold on to what you know

Imagine life without His love

Joy would cease to be

Keep thanking Him for all the things

Love imparts to thee

Move out of "Camp Complaining"

No weapon that is known

On earth can yield the power

Praise can do alone

Quit looking at the future

Redeem the time at hand

Start every day with worship

To "thank" is a command

Until we see Him coming

Victorious in the sky

We'll run the race with gratitude

Xalting God most high

Yes, there'll be good times and yes some will be bad,

but...

Z ion waits in glory...where none are ever sad!

"I AM Too blessed to be stressed!"

The shortest distance between a problem and a solution is

the distance between your knees and the floor.

The one who kneels to the Lord can stand up to anything.

Love and peace be with you forever, Amen.

Your Friend, Jesus

Good Morning,

I know you wrote this last night but it will be morning before you read it.

You know, it just could be one of your meds that makes you feel tired all the time. Check with your doc.

Hopefully the vacation you have planned will help too. Getting away from it all for awhile and being able to look at other things to temporarily give you something else to see and do. I know your problem will be going with you but still perhaps it will help!

Hope you have a good day.....I know I will! Got to go finish getting ready to leave for church! Talk to you tonight.

Love you!

Mom

Good Morning, Wes,

The feeling of tiredness is normal and should start to get better soon. In the beginning, I wanted to sleep all the time, but I don't have the problem anymore. I can't remember when it changed, but I think it was about my one year mark. I still like to nap in the afternoon, but I have always done that.

Enjoy your trip. My daughter has been there and says it is an interesting place. I think your Mom is right - you need a change of scenery.

Wes,

For my first year I thought I was asleep more than awake. After that it did ease up though there are days when I could just sleep. You would not be sleepy if your body did not need it. With the week you had at work, your brain is probably tired as well.

Do check with your doc though to see if one of your medications could be causing the fatigue.

I was at a function yesterday where I was gone from home for 8 hours. I'm super tired today as I'm not usually out and about for that long of a time. I was praised though by my nephew's mother-in-law for my progress since she first met me in 2007 and my outlook of trying to focus on how far I've come since the stroke not to where i still want to be.

I feel for ya, brother. Rest when you can. Your body is working really hard and needs it or you wouldn't be tired. I've been fighting some nasty bug for weeks now and would give my eyeteeth to rest, but with Sarah and the kids here and no end in sight, I'm beat and about to lose my mind!

You'll be amazed when you hit the one year mark...you'll realize you are not so tired all the time. I had incredible energy prior to my stroke and I'm almost at the two-year mark. I can honestly say I'm back to about 85 percent which makes me happy (and proud).
