Pain and Sorrow Gain better Tomorrows

I refuse to let sorrow control my emotions in a negative way. I refuse to let pain control my emotions in a negative way. Instead, I will take the pain that comes from my body, & the sorrow that derives from losing something so dearly loved, & use them both to better my path. Sorrow will remind me that there are loves in life worth continuing on for..& Pain will serve to remind me that I'm indeed still alive to love. ~SDR

Perfect Match made in Prayer

Hubby said something to me once, and I'll never ever forget it...it was about 6mths or so after my back surgery and I was still in so much pain and dealing with the infection of the incision & hours of PT. As most of you know, Hubby has done SO much for me during our marriage as I have had a ton of surgeries and procedures, and I was (and still am sometimes) prone to bouts of guilt over all he's gone through because of me. We were laying in bed watching a movie & I just looked over at him & started bawling...he said.."What's wrong, I thought you were feeling better".."I was!" I said.."but I just started thinking how horrible it is that I prayed All My Life for God to send me a wonderful husband like you...but...I cannot image you praying even one single day for a wife like me!"..Then..he started laughing at me...and I was shocked...I said, "What's so funny! It's not funny!"..he turned to me and said..."Sommer, all my life I've only wanted one thing...something that seemed to elude me no matter what happened in my life...I was never really needed for anything..sure I helped people and they appreciated it for the most part, but I never really felt needed. I knew they could have done whatever it was I helped them with without me if they really wanted...So, I prayed everyday, that one day God would send me someone that needed me..truly needed me. I wanted so much all my life to know what it felt like to be needed mind, body, and soul..and you, Sweetheart, fulfill that prayer everyday!"..Half in shock I replied.."Be careful what you wish for Mr. Roy", he grinned at me and hugged me and said.."Yeah I know, right?!" and we laughed...I'll never forget that...how God looked down on the earth one day and saw one person with one prayer, and one with another, then put those two prayers together in a perfect match! How wonderful & all knowing our God is! To this day, when I feel I'm a burden to him, I think of that moment..there are still some times when I am able to do for him but he does for me anyway..and it's hard but I let him, knowing his answered prayer is in his works...

Today I'm feeling "Low" But That's Ok

Today I'm feeling "Low" But That's Ok
By: Sommer Roy

I don't wear lots of make-up lately, my glasses suit me fine, I'm just a little country girl, who occasionally has a glass of wine.

Been feeling kinda low lately, with medical things and such, I'm used to all the maddness, but sometimes it's a bit too much.

Oh, I'm thankful everyday you see, for ALL the blessings God has given me, but I'm only human after all, and sometimes I'm prone to take a fall.

Some have asked me why I see the world, with such blind faith and optimistically. But why is positivity always considered such an irrationality?

Some even say, well it must be nice, to have everything in life go so right. But I have my share of troubles too...I'm no different than all of you!

Right now I have a tootless grin, and I bet you wanna know why, Well lets just say this bone disease has no boundries, reason or ryme.

So off to the dentist I will go, in hopes he'll patch this little hole. And until then, I'll only grin so the locals have no opportunity for all those redneck jokes I just know they're holding in.

Have you ever tried being 3ft7 and eating a desert or two? It's not something I'd recommend cause I know what it will do!

It's not so much the eating right, it's being able to move after to fight the good fight...And moving is not something I can excatly do everyday..somedays I'm great, and somedays I'm just "ok".

So round and round and rounder I go until it's just absurd...Yup this kinda life sometimes I think is officially for the birds.

But then I think about what I've learned, and all the blessings, not the pounds, I've gained, and I realize if I could go back there's only a few things I would change.

I'd love a little harder, dig in a little deeper, learn a little more, and appreciate ALL the things worth fighting for!

NEVER take for granted all the gifts the Lord has given you. Think a minute really hard about without them all the things you could not do!

For if I knew nothing of life's saddness, how would I ever really appreciate the fullness of all of it's wonderful gladness?

Yup, this life works out everyday just the way it should, and I learn more and more everyday that ..God sure is Good...

This isn't a poem moreso than it is just my thoughts...sometimes I tend to ryme when I think to myself :P

Carried away In a good way :) Inspired by a "How to Create a Blog" Conversation with Mom

Mother's Day and my 10yr Wedding Anniv are comming up soon, so I was inspired to write this short story in honor of both after a conversation with my mother today. :P The conversation is not entirely true, only inspired by true events, however, the blog entry at the bottom is an entirely true blog entry of mine. Hope you Enjoy this comical story based on true events :P

Inspired by a "How to create a Blog" Conversation between Mother and Daughter

by: Sommer Roy

Mom: Hey Daughter, How do I create a blog?
Daughter: Well you can start by going to this site "www.555.urdaughtersblog.com" and look at my blog, I only have ONE blog entry but you'll get the general idea..it should help you get started..
Mom: Ok, but why do you have only one entry Darling?
Daughter: Because what I write on Facebook pretty much covers what I wanna write I guess?!
Mom: oh, ok but what about if...
Daughter: Just read it..you'll see.. :)
Mom: Ok :)

(Mom reads blog)

Quote from the middle of Daughter's blog entry: [Though I'm not writing alot in this first entry, one more thing you might wanna know about me is]For now, just know I'm totally, ultimately, truly madly in love with my husband, to the point where it's just sickening for others to hear sometimes! haha

(Mom reads the entire blog entry)

Mom: Ok done

Daughter: Ok then, did you get the general idea? Do you have any questions on getting started?

Mom: Yes, but you know Daughter, you DO go on and on sometimes about your feelings for your husband to the point it is seriously sickening, You do know that, don't you dear?

Daughter: *sarcastically* Uhm..No Mom, I didn't know that...but yeah, thanks for letting me know..

Mom: No but really, you do go on Darling...alot...

Daughter: O.K.then...so now, what you wanna do is click the "create a blog" link at the top left corner

Mom: You know Daughter, it's not healthy, all those "feelings" and Husband talk..it's too much, you know I say this with love..it's just too much...

Daughter: *sigh* ..Mmmhmm....well Mom, Imma houseWIFE, I'm not a mom yet, I'm not working at the momemt because I've had alot of boreing medical procedures, I take care of my Husband, so I write about what I do...people write about what they do...

Daughter: Yes mother...

Mom: Good! Now, I just think you could find something else to write about, ya know what I'm saying?

Daughter: Uhm, Mom, do you ever read any of my other posts that are NOT related to my "feelings" towards my Husband?

Mom:Well yes Dear..but there seems to be alot of talk about food...

Daughter: Well yeah Mom, if you want to eat healthy you gotta cook healthy...besides I really enjoy cooking..it's kinda a hobby for me and I ...

Mom: ...write about the other things that define your life, and who you are. What about writing about that little problem you were having with that...

Daughter: *gasp* ....MOTHER!!

Mom: ...Yes Dear?

Daughter: Listen.. Mom..not every one HAS to read my status...they can breeze right on by it, or block them even...I mean do you read every status update belonging to everyone everyday? You don't have to read it...see what I'm saying..?

Mom: Of Course Daughter, I'm just concerned for the way people are viewing you...

Daughter: *clinching teeth* I'm a very freaking positive person...I think that comes across very well in my..

Mom: My Dear Daughter, don't you see that's apart of the problem?

Daughter: Wait..What? Sooo...you're actually saying..that I'm TOO positive about my relationship?

Daughter: What tha...OMG...MOM...whatever...

Mom: Love you my Daughter!!

Daughter: Love you too Mom...look I gotta go start dinner for the Hubby now, he's had a hard day..so I can't wait till he gets home so that I can...

Mom:SEEEE!!!!! STOP IT!!

Daughter: OMG WHAT???? That's really what I'm about to do!!!

Mom: Well you didn't have to inform me Dear....

Daughter: OK OK I'm sorry!!!...sheese *giggle*

(Daughter is not really sorry...she enjoyed it actually) :P

Mom: And don't forget to walk me through creating a blog later! I really enjoyed reading yours!

(Daughter saying to herself: Are ya freaking kidding me?)

Daughter saying outloud to Mom: ..Sure Mom..no problem..ttyl :)

Blog entry #2

Must Remember to change blog address so mother cannot access blog anymore..If she found all that insite in my one blog entry, I do not have the strength nor the blood pressure to defend..er..discuss another one with her! haha

...So, yeah I may get carried away every once in awhile, but I dunno, I guess I'm proud & Happy that after 10yrs we still feel that way bout each other ya know?! :) Besides, I mean after 10yrs of putting up with me & my craziness (hehe), & 3 hip replacements, major spinal decompression surgery, 5yrs of intense physical therapy, & about 15-25 other minor medical procedures, tha boy is still here, & I kinda think that's amazing! ;)
I always said when I was able to wait on him and return the favor that I would, and I would do so 10 fold...well, I can now, and I happen to really enjoy it...it's a sickness I know :P lol
After all, it was him who CARRIED me to the bathroom at 2:00am in the morning every night when I could not walk, It was him that came home on his lunch everyday to feed me when I could not get out of bed, and it was him that dressed me, changed the tennis balls on my walker, rubbed my back, changed the dressings on my open incision for 6mths and attached the machine to me every night, spent 7 wedding anniversaries in the hospital, held me, and waited on me hand and foot when he didn't have to...

..So yeah, as I've said before, some may get all warm & fuzzy from my posts & some may get a gaging nausua, hehe, but really and truely either reaction is okie with me because in reality you're probably suppossed to feel a little of both anyway! haha But it's my life, and I'm me, this is what I do, and I'm SO blessed, and I'm not ashamed of that! Yes I'm silly, sometimes corny even...but it's my way of making someone smile...or hoping I do, provoking interesting conversations, maybe provide some comic relief, or give hope to someone having an off day, or just talking with my friends. And it's my way of showing love for this one in a billion husband of mine..so like it, love it, or hate it, read it, breeze by it, or block it..it's okie with me whatever way you go...because I'm blessed, and Imma freaking positive person, darn it, lol and I may somtimes complain or vent on my status, but mostly I try to focus more on the good stuff in life, which for me (among other things) is the Lord blessing me with a wonderful Hubby :)


Well, gotta go..cooking dinner for the Hubby...He's had a bad day so I'll be glad when he gets home so that......WHAT??? IT'S REALLY WHAT I'M GONNA GO DO!!! :P
