"Everything"

Another song title...this one is by Michael Buble. I thought I would include it as it is such a great song and can't help but make one smile. Our good friend, Aly, also introduced me to Mindy Smith and her songs. Try out "It's Amazing" by her...can't go wrong.


Calm waters right now as I am doing well and the predisone gets reduced each month. Any sign of cGVHD and my docs will find it and it all ends and we start over. But "waiting for the other shoe to drop" is really hard to pull off so I have tried to moved my blanket from under the tree full of shoes that is cancer and surviving it and placed my trust in the Lord and I relinquish control of all my life's valleys and mountaintops to Him. It is amazing to realize finally that the valleys are much wider and longer than the ground under your feet on the mountaintops. So as I travel through them toward the mountaintops, as we all do, I find comfort in the daily gifts and blessings. Recently, a local businessman was diagnosed with ALS (Lou Gehrig's Disease) at age 46. We all know him but as I felt it in my gut when I heard, I was again reminded of how life is so cool but so fragile. Dang! I guess these things get to me more now...must be the medications. I pretty much get misty during Disney films too...ha ha


OK in other news, we lost football playoffs and Tommy likely dislocated his knee cap but it will heal with 2-3 weeks of immobilization and physical therapy. He is tough and we are glad the season is over. Everyone else is doing great and we look forward to Thanksgiving and a quiet family Christmas.



Keep in touch.


Thanks for the thoughts and prayers
