Dealing with the Blues

I find it interesting that when you feel tired and blue the best thing to do is to get busy and help someone else.

My friend, Chelle, is recovering from a serious ATV accident. She has many broken bones, pins, plates, and screws in her arm. She has a sling, a cane, a lot of pain, but a smile on her face, and encouragement on her lips. She can't drive, can't do her job (she's a hairdresser), can't do the basics around her house . . . yet she is so glad to be alive . . . and that is contagious.

We've laughed together, cried together, prayed together, gone to the dr. together, eaten together, talked and talked and talked.

How thankful I am for a friend, who cares about me, in spite of her own pain and troubles. I hope I can be a friend like that for someone someday.
