M is for....

Minor sugery!

Yep you read it right...I'm having minor foot surgery. It turns out that I have a fractured bone in my big toe of my right foot. My second Podiatrist found it so we are having him surgically remove that fractured bone. He said that it is not a necessary bone to have to do all the normal daily activities. Now if I ever consider to be a ballerina then those dreams would probably not come true since removing this bone will take away some of the precise foot movements that a ballerina must master. But since I am not considering to be a dancer in my future...I'm sure I will be ok.

My surgery is schedule for Tuesday, August 19th at 7:30 in the morning. The doctor said that I should be out of the hospital by 12,noon that day depending on how long it takes me to come out of the anesthesia. All of your prayers will be greatly appreciated. After the surgery I will post pictures of my cool scars! I'm sure it will be very small but still it will be a good story to tell my children right? I have learned that I have to be optimistic in cases like this or else I will never make it through.

There is one bad thing about this surgery which is the fact that I must be on crutches for the first week or so of school. My classes start 2 days after my surgery. Fortunately my father made a great point the other day regarding me having to use crutches. He said, "See Myra these crutches could be a great thing, When you are struggling with your books and crutches at the same time; then some cute boy will come up and help you." It made me laugh. My dad is hilarious sometimes! I loved it! I was thinking...I think the purpose of this surgery was for me to find my husband...its inevitable! haha!

Well with surgery next Tuesday and classes starting the following Thursday I think I'm going to be pretty busy with everything. I will attempt to update my blog pretty frequently. I just hope school doesn't take up TOO much of my time! Prayers are always appreciated!

Hope you all have a great day! i'm off to the annual Cracker Barrel Picnic on my lunch break! Yes even though it has been about a year and a half since I worked there...they still love me and want me to come! YAY!!! i'll leave you with this quote for my final thought! I love you all!

L is for....

The way you LOOK at me
O is for the Only One I See
V is Very Very extroadinary
E is Even More than Anyone That You Adore

And Love is all that I can give to you
Love is more than just a game for two
Two in love can make it
Take my heart but please don't break it
Love was made for me and you...

So the other day I was wondering if true love was possible and so that was my status on facebook...and the next day I received a message..and this is what it said. The author will remain unknown!

Whether true love is possible is an interesting question.It requires an analysis of the definition "love" and "true" and then proceeds to inquire as to the circumstances in which it occurs. A logical, analytical approach is most preferred.

As per the definition of "love" I will reference the "he agape"--I'm sorry I can't use actual Greek characters. The selfless, giving love which is the ultimate result of a romantic association is possible.

Next, we consider the adjective "true", "aletheis" meaning, true, real, genuine, or honest. The love must be real or it is not love. It must be genuine or it has an alterior motive. Since "love seeks not its own glory" then alterior motives are precluded. It must also be honest for the same reasons. The conclusion then is that the adjective is mere surplusage and verbiage if we accept the proffered definition.

Finally, one consideres the circumstances in which it occurs. Love--omitting the unnecessary adjective--is something that is cultivated and worked for. It takes time and experience for it to be nurtured. It cannot happen by chance. Nor is it consistent with the idea that once two people fall in love that they stay that way forever. Many married couples fall in and out of love--as the term is commonly used--but they have to work for it. That's why arranged marriages aren't as bad an idea as Americans assume.

There are many proofs, examples, arguments, and Scriptural citations which I have used to generate my opinion on the subject, but explaining the intricacies of the analysis would be extremely lengthy, so I have tried to keep it to a very brief summary of a much longer thesis.

So what do you think? For most of you...your married..you think its true..but until the day that I find my one true love...I don't believe you! Hope you all have a splendid day! I will continue my search for true love and one day I'll find it! Don't worry I got people looking for me...hopefully God will RSVP to me one day and let me know who it is! :)

Prayers are always good and I'm very thankful for all of you who do pray for me!
