Started the day by being sick but better now. Dialysis fine yesterday and I had a lovely visit with R. One of Chloe's friends came to visit before dialysis which was lovely. I really appreciated her giving up her time for me. We had a great chat about schools and EPs. She is off back to Oxford to do an MA. I hope she has a great year.

Today I am going slowly as you may gather by the time I have written this post! I am hoping to go to bible study this afternoon with a lovely group of ladies. We are discussing 'Church' and what it is or should be - interesting.

This evening my lovely girlie comes home. I am really looking forward to seeing her.

This verse has struck me recently

'because we know that suffering produces perseverance; perseverance, character; and character, hope.'

I am definitely learning to persevere and that is leading to a change in my character and I am sure that brings about hope.
