Preparing

I'm gearing up for follow-up #6.  Scans have been scheduled, flights booked, child-minders confirmed, and fingers crossed.

This quote was emailed by a dear friend.  It sums up pretty much my whole life:
Lord, help me not to take myself too seriously but to laugh readily at myself. Even my worst troubles have a ridiculous side.
from The Joyful Spirit of Padre Pio

St. Pio and I go way back.  His exhortation to "Pray and Don't Worry" is etched on my heart.

I'll update in a couple of weeks.  Thank you for your prayers!
