Life is good. The smile on my face is getting bigger because there is a spring in my step. I am still healing but it is amazing to be alive and feel well enough to even join friends for lunch. I recently posted a picture of myself on Facebook. My sister posted that it brought tears to her eyes. I told her, "No Tears! I am high on life and so very happy". I have been given a second chance and I am going to take it with my arms wide open. :)
Last October, I booked a trip to Hawaii using saved up Airmiles. I had no idea about my radiation schedule at that time. Somehow the time slot that worked also coincided with me feeling good enough to enjoy myself. A homeopath once told me, "If it is meant to be, it will be. Things always work out the way they are meant to. God is control of everything". I believe that Hawaii is here on earth so that we can have a taste of what heaven will be like ... wonderful weather, amazing beaches and perfect blue warm ocean water ... and I am so blessed that my family and I were able to spend a week on the Big Island of Hawaii. I spent some time in the water floating on the waves and even did some swimming strokes with my arms. To my amazement they worked ... :) It was so much fun to see my boys playing in the ocean and awe inspiring to stand beside a huge volcano crater. God is so good! Seven weeks past my radiation and I am feeling well enough to focus on my physio exercises to try and get my arms working again. I encourage everyone to make the most of what we all have been given. And one of my wise oncologists told me, "Do what makes you happy". She also prescribed yoga ... that should be fun. I do love stretching.
Psalms 107:1 "Give thanks to the Lord, for He is good. His love endures forever."
