I took my synthroid 200mg this morning. The new strength. Well my heart starting beating 115 beats per minute. My blood pressure took a dive to 109/160. my vision became blurred, My head was dizzy. I called the doctor's office and left a message that I would not be taking it any more. The drug store will be calling him to get a refill for the 175 mg. Other than that I've had a great day.
I saw a woman yesterday at the doctor's office that I knew. It has been over twenty five years since I saw her last. As we talked about times gone by and people that we knew. Learning who did what, and who had died, etc. I noticed how old she looked. Her hair gray and her face wrinkled from all the years that had passed. And I thought of how really fast our lives past. It reminds me of what Solomon said. Life is like a vapor, here and done. It seems as if we turn around to view something, then when we turn back around ten, fifteen, twenty years have passed.
It's occurs to me that it's not how many years have passed, but rather what I have done during those years that matter. Did I enrich someones life somehow? Did I help someone in any way that really made a difference? I'd have to say that I fall really short of the gold that wish I had achieved. I remember the life Joyce Sanders, my sister in law lived. She never did any great thing that the public would take notice of. But she was a great lady. Her greatness was in her gentle spirit that she showed her love for all with. And I remember Naomi, Willard's aunt. Her greatness was also in the love she showed to others. How she worked so hard to please others. She never put herself before others. She was a great woman and not many could fill her shoes.
It's not the things we do that make us great that matters. It's the things we do that make others remember, when we didn't even know we were doing anything.
So don't try to be great. Just love and be loved. For the love we have in our hearts ""is"" our greatness.
Until next time, God bless and God save.
