I apologize for not posting for three months, but two people very close to me reminded me of how long it's been, so here I updating my blog.
It's funny how our mind works.
When we are healthy, we take our good health for granted.
When I first got sick, I learned to appreciate every breath I take and every anatomical function that works. Walking, talking and breathing were all skills I was suddenly acutely aware of. I praised God for every moment of each day. I realized it was a gift that was not owed to me, but one that was graciously and generously handed to me.
As my scans came back repeatedly clear, I fell into a trap of taking these gifts for granted. Sure, I continued praying for continued good health and thanking God for granting me each day, but it started becoming routine and my prayers were said by rote.
How foolish we can be that we often need a reminder that everyday is a gift from God. Everyday and every breath is to be cherished as if it is the first day of our life. It's ironic that good health is what makes us foolish, and through the grace of God we are sometimes blessed with a needed reality check.
Back to my health.
My recent scans continue to show the lungs and brain clear of any progression of the cancer.
My fatigue is less and I am able to enjoy spending time with my family and friends.
Thank you all for your continued prayers and good thoughts.
