Moth?


This little gal is a moth, right? Or a butterfly?
We had a church council retreat yesterday, and during some free time, I went for a walk. This moth let me do a little photo shoot with her! I got lots of pictures, but this was my favorite. I'm not sure why. It isn't really even in focus. I like her wing angle.

I also don't know if it's a boy or a girl. There are boy moths and girl moths, right? It's moments like these I recognize the gaps in my education.

I know I said I wasn't going to mention platelets much anymore.
So I'll do just do an update for those interested (i.e. - if platelet talk makes you annoyed, you can stop reading now. Please come visit tomorrow, though!)

I had my weekly blood test today.
Today's total: 50,000 platelets.

I'm choosing to be positive about it. Last week I had more. But two weeks ago I had a lot less.
I'm not really sure if any of my supplements, foods, juices, meditation, or walking are doing anything. But, I like to think it's making a difference. 2 weeks ago I was taking the same dose of Prednisone that I am on now, and my platelets were 12,000. And now they are 50,000! So I think all the "extras" are making a difference.

I am praying for good discernment, a good attitude, a sense of humor, and that all my organs & blood get back on the same page.

Thanks for your thoughts and prayers and emails and messages. I'm so thankful for you! Four weeks ago I went to the ER! What a month!

This is going to be SUCH a hilarious story someday. Really.
