Peace

First I want to thank everyone for the very lovely comments on my selvage doll dress. It was such a fun project, and of course the cell phone holster was so necessary. My hubby looked at the holster, and just couldn't believe it :-)

Last night I had a bit of scare. I started having flashing lights in one of my eyes, and a round patchy thing where I could not see. I became very concerned and even was shaking a bit. This morning I called my eye Doctor, who of course was booked solid. So I went in to see one of his associates. She was a very nice young doctor who looked in my eyes in every possible way and angle. The verdict was that my eyes were perfectly fine, except for maybe being a little dry. She told me that I had a visual phenomenon called Migraine Scotoma or "scintillating scotoma". I guess in other words it was like a migraine in your eye. Apparently it happens mostly when under stress or lack of sleep. The paper she gave me said that migraine episodes usually are triggered by some kind of stress. And (get this) most often occur in people who are intelligent, hardworking, and compulsive. I have never thought of myself as compulsive, but there has been a little stress around here from time to time.

Anyway, I am just SO grateful that my eyes are healthy and there was nothing to be done. God has blessed me with a healthy body that HE made. My prayer today was "Be anxious for nothing but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all comprehension, shall guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus".

I will leave you with this beautiful picture that I took last night after a long hard rain............
