So the one thing that I can NEVER EVER do is fall… falling+rare joint disease=disaster!  Well, it seems that flip flops plus being in a big hurry down the stairs can potentially lead to a pretty sweet fall… and that’s just what happened to me this week.  I fell down the stairs.  I can’t believe it.  It wasn’t as bad as it could have been, but I guess I really hurt my knee in the fall.  It seems to be getting worse as the week goes by, but I’m hoping it will resolve itself and soon… you can pray with us  

Anyway, I’ve had to keep my knee up and iced, especially as it’s gotten worse.   Last night, since all I had been able to do all day was lay with my leg in the air and ice on my knee, I decided to pull out an old favorite to cheer me up… Little Women.  It’s my favorite Christmas-time movie.  I always pull it out right when the temperatures start to get winter-esque with all my Advent books in preparation for my favorite time of year.  (I LOVE Christmas!)  I know it’s 90 degrees outside right now, but it was kind of like having Christmas in July.   I made it all cold in my room and cuddled up in blankets, pretending the ice on my knee was snow (like on Meg’s ankle).   And I just love Beth – she’s my favorite sister.  Maybe I’m the only one who would choose her as the best sister, but I guess I relate to her simple heart the most.  Though I am probably most like Jo in personality… especially the “say exactly what I think” and “hopelessly flawed” parts.

Yep, so all that to say, Little Women is definitely on my “things I love” list.
