I am grateful

I am grateful to have been born when God chose to bring me into the world, and where I was born. Life is so much more difficult in other places, especially for women, and historically in times past.

I am grateful that everyday is a new opportunity to be loving and hopeful.

I am grateful it is Friday after a very extremely stressful week.

I'm grateful to be looking out on my garden on this sabbath with my dog Georgia laying at my feet and the light shining through the last pink roses. I can hear my sweetie making our Sunday dinner in the kitchen. He has proven to be the best partner to have through this cancer. I thank God everyday for bringing my husband to me.

I am grateful that God has saved my life twice, once by waking up full of dread with my thumb on my right breast, exactly on cancer I didn't know of, and again, with a mysterious tiny bump near my groin that did not light up on a PET, but made me want one. The lump disappeared, but the PET revealed cancer in my sacrum. I am NED once again. There is nothing but praise on my lips. I have a 15year old son with autism, and I am his world. My work on Earth is not finished yet, and the Lord has extended my life. Hallelujah! Amen

I am thankful for good old friends who have the grace and sincerity to ask how you are doing, mentally, physically and financially with tact. People who truly love my husband and I. There are not many but thankful for those we are lucky enough to call true friends.

I am grateful I can walk and breathe.
