I felt like I drank 30 cups of coffee on Thursday, a week before

Thanksgiving. That didn’t sound right to the women at Bible study I had gone to so they had me talk to a

nurse at the hospital. She told me to head directly to the ER. Off we went. Found out my sodium level was

dangerously low and I’d need to stay in the hospital until Sunday morning!

The next morning the doctor said, “You are lucky to be alive!” The issue was a dangerously low sodium level due to medication and that

caused me to get dangerously close to a seizure state and then death. Three more nights of sodium dripping

into my veins got me home Monday morning. Then just a few things to get done before twelve adults and

five kids showed up for Thanksgiving dinner.

Arriving home I flew into gear, high on being alive and thankful for family; I bought the necessary

fresh ingredients, thankfully pre-scheduled house cleaners arrived and got the house sparkling, and ready to

receive out of state company too. I could not believe how much energy I felt just being alive and thankful.

The day was packed with good food and laughter and joy.

I’m so thankful being a Smooth Organizer helped me

handle the hurdles and pulled me through the celebratory event. You can definitely increase your level of generosity as a smooth organizer.
