I know there are no coincidences. To me, they are an effect of a cause that is unknown. One of those things that happen for a reason. I do believe I experienced that today. To give just some background, my son wanted to visit with a friend. He has been seeing this friend about once a week in a neighboring town. He has had a "smart" mouth and I told him I was not driving him there. After a LONG talk, I relented, but certain circumstances had to be met and continue to be met in order for me to keep driving him. I still didn't "feel good" about this meeting. I just didn't know why. I did try everything to discourage it and to make it another day, but that didn't happen. This morning my daughter woke up sick. She was vomiting, her stomach in pain, etc. I was going no where. As the time is going on, she feels much better. I don't know if this was one of those things that stopped me from taking him there, but she is doing much better. Of course my son wasn't happy about it, and I'm still keeping a close eye on my daughter. She has to have oral surgery on Wednesday, so we've already told the dentist about this. I don't want any chances when it comes to that. 

There are a couple things that she's been conditioned with. Since I now know, when she gets hurt, anything from a scratch to sickness, I always tell her, that she's healing already. Of course when she was sick this morning, I told her the same thing as I always do. I hold her and comfort her and tell her that she is healing already. Her stomach is going to feel better soon, it's just getting rid of what it needs to. Then she will be better. I held her for about an hour and then she started to perk up. She is now doing quite well, just making sure she holds down some food. She has no pain at the moment. It is amazing what happens when from a young age, you tell them that they are healing already, and it's taken in as a "known" into the mind. Her cuts, scraps, etc last a couple of days, that's it.

 So I guess I'm blogging about 2 things. One that sickness would have been the only thing to stop me from taking my son out, and how fast healing can happen when the person believes that they are healing themselves. Which of course they are!
