Anticipating big changes is especially difficult, because there's nothing to DO but wait and dread...when the moment comes, you can face it head on, but until then, you just have to wait and know that you have the fortitude to face the future.<br /><br />But as for Sarah's hearing aids, I think they will make her transition easier rather than harder. It's much, much easier to fit in when you can clearly hear and understand everything going on around you! (This I know from experience.) And while eighth graders can be difficult, they can also be unexpectedly kind.<br /><br />JG from WIAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7614350181757194859.post-34899098724226800292009-05-22T22:52:47.822-04:002009-05-22T22:52:47.822-04:00This transition period must be really stressful.

As always I'm keeping you in my thoughts!<br /><br />And now, about goals...<br />My biggest goal was to become a doctor. It was a dream of mine since age 6. At 10 yrs old, I became really sick (my grandmother actually wondered if I would make it to the end of the summer!). I was eventually diagnosed with crohn's disease (after thinking for weeks it was probably lymphoma or leukemia) and I missed weeks (that became months) of school from age 10 to 18 (hospital = 2nd home!). Luckily, I was able to homeschool myself and could keep up with school work. I applied in medicine. And here I am, living my dream for 4 years now :)<br /><br />Another goal of mine was to meet Patch Adams (the real one!). And I did (just a few months before being accepted in medschool!) :0) That was awesome!<br /><br />Sorry that was long!!<br /><br />R. in Canada<br />marysienka.blogspot.comMarysienkahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13185620350459144898noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7614350181757194859.post-219677256202584412009-05-22T16:21:34.318-04:002009-05-22T16:21:34.318-04:00Debbie McKee (Little Debbie) was four years old in...Debbie McKee (Little Debbie) was four years old in 1960 when her grandparents decided to use her name and image in the snack cake company logo.<br /><br />My father and his brother partnered to bring the very first Little Debbie franchise to North Carolina in 1962.

But then I read Sue G.s wonderfully wise and inspiring words and decided to shamelessly plagerize (sp?) them and say, "Ditto!"--that's what I would say if I knew how! Thank you, Sue, for using your gifts of wisdom and insight to encourage my sister. Actually, I'm encouraged too. It's hard to see people I love go through such hard, inexplicable things and your words bring hope and perspective.<br /><br />And Beck, as others have said before in previous entries, you're not in the waiting room or the hallway alone--we're all in there with you! So scoot over, will ya? :-)<br /><br />Love,<br />DebAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7614350181757194859.post-26216529436350457272009-05-22T13:09:22.996-04:002009-05-22T13:09:22.996-04:00Anonymous Mary H - Again -

When I read her blog today and thought about how she, in spite of her difficult day, reached out to me by e-mail yesterday to offer comfort and support as I deal with the declining health of my dear friend who is losing her fight against cancer. She covered me with a blanket of faith and prayer and friendship. I so needed that. <br /><br />Sue G.'s thoughts are remarkable. Becky, please read them over and over - I am sure you will find many answers, if not THE answer, within them.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7614350181757194859.post-20382668332678740582009-05-22T12:20:08.973-04:002009-05-22T12:20:08.973-04:00Well, my friend, a funny thing happened in the mid...Well, my friend, a funny thing happened in the middle of the night last night (this morning?). I was lying in bed, tossing and turning, tuning in to a rerun of Cold Case, when a picture of you came into my mind (well, nice to know something can come into my mind at three in the morning!). I can't describe the picture, but the feeling made me think, "I wonder how Becky is doing during the transition in her life right now. I think she should write about it. I'll have to email her in the morning."<br /><br />And here you are!<br /><br />The writing I meant, however, was not on the blog. I was thinking that in this economy with so many families' lives upended, it would be good to write a magazine piece about transition--the hallways--and how people traverse through them. I think that would be very marketable.<br /><br />Anyway, sorry to hear you are in a funk. Waiting can be difficult, I know. But God has a purpose in everything, and I am confident His purpose in this "life interruption" is important. Meanwhile, it is up to you to travel through this time in faith and with an open heart.<br /><br />I know you do that, Becky. I know your heart is always open. And I know you are always in faith. You couldn't write about all the miracles in your life if you didn't see them firsthand. And you can't see miracle and be unsure of Who is in control.<br /><br />Sometimes it is difficult to be comforted by that thought. But then I look at the joy of having Nathan and Sarah home all summer, of having Steve be fully present and uninterrupted by board meetings and sermon preparations, of inhaling the rich aromas that comprise your life...and I know you are okay. I know that God's purpose in this hallway is a gift to you of time with your family. And I know that He will move you to the perfect place when the time is right.<br /><br />So, my friend, when you think of goals to set, think of who you will be in that new place, how you look, how you feel, what you will want to accomplish. Think of all the ways your life can honor and glorify Him no matter where you are or whether you are in life's rooms or hallways. Think of everything your heart desires and trust that God already knows and is making plans accordingly.<br /><br />And you may just be surprised to learn that the gifts have already started arriving. You just have to unwrap them.<br /><br />Even when the wrappers say Little Debbie.Sue Ghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10661749227670056682noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7614350181757194859.post-1408238545762588262009-05-22T12:14:47.764-04:002009-05-22T12:14:47.764-04:00Mary H here - since I can't remember by Google pas...Mary H here - since I can't remember by Google password - I am now Anonymous - that's not so bad, really!<br /><br />I am not great on goal setting - I guess my one goal is to get through each day, smile as much as possible, especially at people who seem to need it more than others and get them to respond, even slightly - then when I go to bed and get up the next day - which is another goal (to reach the next day and see what it holds) - I have achieved a yet another goal -every day - therefore, I triumph over goals constantly - makes me feel accomplished, in a very unceremonial and simple way but setting a "real" goal is very daunting to me - too many things could make me fail - I am not good at failure - so, I set mini goals - just like using "sticky wicket" - hey, it works! <br /><br />Becky, is there any way to look at another side of your new life direction. That may not make any sense to you but maybe you are stuck at a crossroads or in that hallway still for a reason - God many have completely different ideas for you and is just waiting for you to think outside of the box. Just a thought, wish there was more I could do to help - these are different and unusual times for many now, maybe the traditional solutions are not the ones to seek. <br /><br />Hope your weekend is good - maybe a family picnic somewhere is in order - get outside, go somewhere fun and free and feel like you have escaped for a few hours - I am going to try and put that together for myself - a mini vacation - ah, yes, another mini goal.
