I was going for a fresh start

I’m starting the month with a 2-day clear liquid diet in preparation for a colonoscopy. 

It makes me think of starting with a clean slate. The idea makes the laxatives a little more palatable. 

Although I dislike colonoscopy prep, I’m determined not to feel sorry for myself. 

My resolve was strengthened when I learned of misfortune befalling a loved one. I’m praying for her and all who are facing with amazing grace truly difficult situations.

 I’m also grateful for progress on fulfilling a personal goal. All things are possible if I keep my focus on God.
