I have had the privilege of being married for 37 years to a wonderful man who has taught me the joy of humor and laughter. It's contagious, it soothes the soul, it makes difficult times bearable, it is a gift I treasure. May we never lose the ability to laugh.

Waiting for inspiration
Well, here I am again, sitting in my living room on my computer waiting for some inspiration for something to blog. I'm thinking...I'm thinking. And really nothing comes to mind that I really want to blog about. Sure, I can blog about another first in my life...I can blog about getting chemo for the first time on Friday. But, I don't really thing I want to. Suffice it to say, it was weird, surreal, a little scary and I feel perfectly ok. I'm eating and feeling good. Really, I feel too good to be having to go through chemo, if that makes sense. Nothing like feeling great just to have to take stuff that by all rights could make me feel lousy eventually. Something wrong about that. So, we will skip that. I guess I could talk about going in last monday to get my port put in..but again, blah, blah, blah. I guess I could talk about getting my last drain out from my surgery which was good because it was getting bothersome after four weeks of having it in. Hurray for the little things. Well, so really that has been my week. I'm not sure it is a week I would like to repeat any time soon. It was one of those weeks that you get through in order to move on to better things. And I am moving on. Because that is what we do. Maybe it's time for some more lemon cookies...yes, that might be just the ticket.

I wish I could be there to eat lemon cookies with you, ofcourse I want a cup of fo fo coffee to go with them. Sounds good to me, but since I can't I will just say it does sound crazy, going through all of that when you feel so good. Life sometimes is hard to understand, but we do understand the person that made life and we can rest in Him and keep going. God bless you as you continue on lifes journey.
I will get right on the lemon cookies as soon as I can. I know it wasn't a hint or anything like that, but I've been thinking for a week or so that it must be time for more lemon cookies. I'm so glad you are feeling well. We surely are praying for that!!! Our friend from church is having a ball having her chemo, because it gives her so many opportunites to witness. She said she is on cloud ten, and wants it to go on for as long as possible, so she can talk to all these people who are so needy! She is a real encouragement to all of us! And still her hair stays attached to her head! I pray earnestly that you do as well. Keep us posted, even if it is blah, blah, blah to you. We love you. C
Oh, I' am so glad your doing well! Strange to be feeling so good but to be getting such strong treatments. And "yes" to not ever wanting to repeat that week again - sounds altogether unpleasant. You hang in there and know you're in all of our thoughts!
You remember that Seinfeld episode, the "yada yada yada" one. Uh huh, had some chemo yada yada yada and now it's tuesday. New motion: we "yada yada yada" over the parts of the day we don't like. For instance....I was eating breakfast this morning, yada yada yada, I'm off bananas for awhile ;) Love you Mom!
Thank you Dear for your humor and for helping me through this with your humor. I cherish it more than you know. You are a gem!
Since there are no current blogs, I can only assume that the feeling good has not continued. I am so sorry, and wish there was something I could do to take some of your pain/sickness/discomfort for you. I had a relatively mild couple of days of discomfort this week with an endoscopy/colonoscopy, and I was thinking of you and your honey the whole time. We are praying for you, and longing to be of help. ANYTHING we can do, we want to do! Love, C
