is a powerful tool. The past few days of complete rest has allowed me to reflect, sleep, watch mindless TV and even do some reading. I have talked about being still and must take my own advice. The path to victory is not always an easy road to travel. It takes discipline and self-control. I seem to have these elements in other areas of my life, like school for instance. With only a couple of weeks left in my course I have a 98%. Now that's perseverance!! hahaha....or I'm crazy....none-the-less rest has allowed me to focus on more important things than the laundry. Speaking of which....the upkeep of my house has been pretty good. Even when I have been unhappy about something out of place my mom and Kev just tell me to shut up and sit down....very humbling to say the least....because I never shut up and all I can do is sit down....
My breast surgeon called yesterday and gave me an early Christmas present. He said that all of the diseased tissue was taken, blood work looked excellent and lymph nodes were clear. I feel like had I not caught this when I did my results would be very different. EARLY DETECTION SAVES LIVES!!!
My weird dreams are back, probably because I have been taking the meds properly and consistently. Up until last night I was naked in all of my dreams....one where I was at the circus in the ring of fire...just naked and giggling....I looked like a damn fool. Last night I was back at the circus but had all my clothes on. Kevin said I was giggling in my sleep....probably because I was happy to stop exposing myself....
The many acts of kindness extended to my family has been overwhelming....my friend Jan not only sent me some goodies, like a Coach scarf, but the kids and Kevin as well. Efrem for sending a package, Paige for foot and hand massages....Pearl cursing me out for not taking better care of myself(she only cusses at people she loves)....Jimmy for sending the most delicious gourmet cookies my palate has ever experienced and Margaret for taking my son to choir. There are many others but the point about kindness directs me to Colossians 3:12, Matthew 7:12 and 19:19. Scripture tells us to be kind to others but the actual acts of kindness remind me that people are pure, sincere and truly want to help. When I am faced with negativity from nosy, trifling, inconsequential people, I am doubly reminded that the people that I have allowed in my life are not like that and I am grateful. Kindness is a strength within the kingdom of GOD that allows us to do for others and by following Jesus' footsteps we can continue to love others. I cannot wait until I can be of service once again to others, showing my kindness and....SAVING ANOTHER LIFE.....
