Gratitude

I have had many incedence now where i am left without a housekeeper. I live in a big house which has three flights of stairs plus an outside patio in the front and the back. Living in this house without help is too challenging. I have noticed a pattern, every time I am left without a housekpeeper for a few months, my health begins to decline. My body aches more on a daily basis, I get soar throats and coughs and most of the time I end up having to take an antibiotic. Right now, I am again left without a housekeeper because of another strange incident and now I have a soar throat and extreme body ache. Of course all this effects my mood, feeling low and extremely tired and have a short tolerance.

I am so grateful that I am even able to get help. I think about all those people with MS who have kids and homes and may not be able to afford extra help and I feel gratitude. Thank you God. For now, it's part time help every now and then and with the will of God I will manage my situation without getting too sick. I am hopeful and I pray I will settle with a good housekeeper at the end.

I would like to live in a simpler house. Preferable no stairs and lots of storage space. But for now, I pray to be strong in this challenging time and try to overcome the physical weakness.
