     I am Thankful that this weekend I will be able to see my sister cousin and niece before I start my treatment.  Also for My God who has taken care of me.  I was told at the support meating at the hospital that I seem very peaceful only God can do that in the mist of the storm.

    I, like Eph,  am so very thankful for my job, the benefits, my family and my BCO friends.  Juanita, we have two black labs, young females.  We lost our dear Shadow several years ago, another black lab.  I love my "girls" and they give my life so much more than without them.  Simple joys, simple pleasures.

    Linniea, I am so glad that you decided to go on a getaway with your daughter before tx starts. The energy of your words shifted into peacefulness and trust, and I want to share this scripture with you all today.

    Philippians 4:4-9

    4 Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice! 5 Let your gentleness be evident to all. The Lord is near. 6 Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. 7 And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.
    8 Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable-if anything is excellent or praiseworthy-think about such things. 9 Whatever you have learned or received or heard from me, or seen in me-put it into practice. And the God of peace will be with you.

    Have a wonderful time this weekend in Maine!

     Thanks Miss B . I appreciate the scripture you gave for me.  It's amazing how peaceful you can feel in the mist of the storm.  I believe he let's us go through things to help others.

    Here in Connecticut at our home church!  My husband, a good friend, and our church all managed to surprise me with a wedding renewal this weekend.  Today we celebrated 30 years of marriage.  They flew our daughter over here and my favorite singer, Abigail Miller, whom I always wanted to meet!  Abigail played and sang for the ceremony and then they had a reception for us!  Will post pics later when someone sends them to me!!!

    Now that's inspiring! Congrats Grace. 

     Today I attended the memorial service of one of the founding members of the church building I attend!  It was inspiring too!  She is dancing with Jesus tonight.  How exciting is that?

    We're all surrounding you with hugs.

    Sometimes all of the details, the reality and the specifics just collide at the same time. It always intrigues me, as to what the 'final straw' on any given day might be for me.

    Thankfully I am going longer & longer between meltdowns, but I can so empathize with you.

    Know that we are all here, surrounding you with our collective love and encouragement.

    Have a good cry, or pound a pillow -- let some of it 'out' and then find something to delight you.

    xx00xx00xx00xx

    Strength and courage.

    Strength and courage.

    Strength and courage.

    Prayers, hugs ... and strength during these very difficult times.  There is a reason ... that will unveil itself, somewhere down the road.

    Strength, Courage and Peace.

    Dear Lord,

    Please lift the weight off of 3 Jays and ease her daily burdens, preserve the peace and well being of her household, and calm and comfort her spirit.

    In Jesus' Name, Amen

    ((((3 Jays)))) Hang in there. Everything is temporary, and each season passes. Keep the faith that things will turn around with God's help.

    Gardners.............

    I have a friend in my real life who is having a BILAT tomorrow. This is a recurrance for her after a 16 year interval. She has a young 13 year old daughter at home. I know that she'd appreciate knowing that others are holding her in prayer thru the coming week.

    Thanks.

     Hi girls I am back from Maine We had a wonderful weekend.  Went out to eat for LOBSTER and it was so good. We also went to Freeport,Maine and did a little shopping. LL Bean, North Face ect. Bought a new pair of shoes.  We saw a 1700 lb Moose made out of chocolate.  Glad I made the trip.

     Now back to the real world I saw my oncologist who said I would probably need Chemo Rad and Surgery. In which order I don't know yet.  She is sending me for a pet scan I hope all is well with that.  I see them both on the 28 of Feb.  I just want to get the show on the road.
