Sing, Dance, Laugh

Miracles do happen.  They don't always happen instantaneously, but they happen.  I am grateful for today's miracle in my life.  I didn't have to have the diagnostic scrape on my right cornea because my eye has really improved, even from Friday's visit.  The doctor feels it will continue to heal itself gradually, as it has been for the past couple of months, just way slower than the doctors had hoped.

One thing having this problem has done is make me even more conscious of my diet and being positive, no matter what bumps are in the road.  It feels like a curtain has been lifted, and now I can see beyond it, physically and spiritually.  I am so very grateful for this life I have been given. 

I am reminded of the Quaker philosophy: "Walk cheerfully over this world, answering that of God in everyone."  Along some Quaker inspiration, I wrote this song a few years ago:

I WILL FOLLOW YOU

In the silence of the morning
I am listening to you
As the sun is slowly dawning
I am still and I am cool

Chorus: And I know that you will guide me
             You will show me what to do
             You will lead me
             And I will follow you

As the cares of life surround me
Sometimes pulling me apart
I can feel your arms around me
And your peace within my heart

Chorus: And I know that you will guide me
             You will show me what to do
             You will lead me
             And I will follow you

Bridge: I will follow you
            As you lead me through this life
            I will follow you
            In times of peace, in times of strife
            And as I walk in cheerfulness
            My soul is surely blessed
            You will lead me
            And I will follow you

In the stillness of the evening
When I feel your presence near
I am sure that way will open
I will never need to fear

Chorus: And I know that you will guide me
             You will show me what to do
             You will lead me
             And I will follow you
