The Beaded Pillow: She Crashed My Pity Party

She Crashed My Pity Party

If you read my previous toe post you will understand why I was feeling sorry for myself on Tuesday: My toe hurt. I couldn't go anywhere. The pain pills made me nauseous and too drowsy to bead. I was having a lovely pity party. And then I glanced out the slider door to where my hummingbird feeder hangs. I had put it out days ago and not one single hummer had stopped by. (This also depressed me.) But then it happened. A sweet little hummer flitted onto the feeder. She even posed while I got myself up, hobbled to grab my camera and snap her picture.

Even on the worst of days God causes good things.

She crashed my pity party!

PS: Re-packed and bandaged The Toe last night and again this morning. It's healing well, but I'd like to teach the surgeon how to make smaller, more precise and prettier stitches.

You're lucky he didn't put staples in it. I swear they staple everything these days.; May 10, 2012 at 11:33 PM
