No more Chemo !!!

   It is finally here.   No more chemotherapy treatments for this gal.  I will miss the great people at the lab but I will not miss the I.V's  or all that goes along with it.   After a year and a half of treatment my life will seem so different.  I might even pick up painting again.  Heck I might even pick up really cleaning my house again. (I just hope I remember how)

I really want to Thank everyone who has put up with me and my lack of energy and confusion.  Mind , heart and spirit were willing but the body just would not co-operate and get into the act. I can not begin to convey my feelings about this whole cancer ordeal.  I am so grateful for all the experiences and lessons the Lord has seen fit to place in my path. I hope I don't have to repeat them but I am glad I made it through.I believe it has really made me a different person.  Hopefully I will be more appreciative of family and friends, maybe more willing to jump in and help when I am needed and more eager to really listen to others when they need a listening ear and a shoulder to cry on.  I will try to truly care more deeply now and not be so fast to give advise.

Thank you all for the meals, goodies, rides, flowers, running errands, produce out of your gardens, cards, plants,  phone calls,  gifts, prayers, books, advise, secret deeds of kindness, helping in the yard, and even putting out the garbage cans and clearing snow. We have a lot of "paying forward" ahead of us. But most of all thank you  for the fasting and prayers said in our behalf.  I know they were heard and answered.  Our Heavenly Father is aware of all your good deeds and I think he will bless you for all you do not only for me but for all those around you.         We love and thank you and pray for you  to receive all the choicest blessings the Lord has in store for you.    I feel I truly have a Father in Heaven who loves and cares for me and all of us and is aware of all our needs. Sometimes he lets us wait for answers to prayers so that we will truly appreciate them and also so that we may learn patience. We may not always like or understand the answers but they are for our good not for our wants.
