no reason not to be joyous
in light of the greatest gift given to me, salvation, everything pales in comparison:
blessings (ie. health, shelter, family, friends, significant other, employment) - salvation grants me something infinitely more valuable than the aforementioned - a relationship with the true and living God for all of eternity
afflictions (ie. disease, homelessness, anxiety, depression, sorrow, unemployment) - salvation saves me from something even more dire than the aforementioned - separation from the true and living God for all of eternity
praise be to Jesus for being the way, the truth, and the life

staples are out!
ahhhhhhhhh, it's so nice to not have millions of staples stapled to your body!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
getting staples removed isn't so pleasant. in fact, it's downright painful!!!! ouch!!! i wouldn't recommend it. not fun!
cheers to a staple-free body!

yay!
some friends sent me a care package yesterday and in it contained many goodies.
they also sent over a rubiks cube. i have one at home but it's at home (in OC). well, since i'm bed-ridden most of the day (practically all of it), i decided to give the rubiks another go.
with the handy cheat sheet that came with the cube, i went through each step and i can now say that i (sorta) know how to solve the bloody thing.
anyone with time to kill can learn the patterns and solve this thing.
it's beyond me how some people can solve the cube without the cheat sheet. the farthest i got (without hints) was two levels (and that was once in my life... not sure how i did it... luck, i think).
yay!
i think solving this cube has been the most productive thing i've done in the past 3 weeks or so. sad...

so fresh and so clean clean
took a shower today after 2 weeks. feels good to be clean and not stinky. had to sit on an upside-down 5 gallon bucket - the only way to shower.
another important milestone experienced today is me being able to get off the bed and back onto it all by myself. i have to basically pick up my leg via grabbing my pants leg up near the knee area. the muscles in my right are still too weak to hold up the leg by itself for normal physical functions.
wish i were back to "normal"...
slowly but surely...
