I decided that today is the the day I am going to feel better. I've had enough of the bad days now. So I got up this morning and went to the gym. I did 30 min. on the elliptical,it was a little bit of a struggle but not too bad. I came home and ate a nutricious breakfast and then went in the front yard to weed. It felt so good and I weeded for about an hour. After that I got ready to go to the hospital for a group meeting with other cancer patients that has been really nice to go to and talk with others. Today we made a collage and I was all over that. We do things like that at school with the kids but when do we have time to do it ourselves. So I spent an hour cutting and pasting. After we cut out all our pictures and words we wanted to use she asked us if we wanted to put them all in a box together and shuffle them around and then we could all go to the box and choose what we wanted to use for our collage. Some were willing to and some were not. At first I was willing to but then later I went back and got mine because I had spent a long time choosing them. When we were done she talked about how we make plans on how our life will go and what we will do and then "stuff" happens and all our plans don't work anymore or do not apply to us anymore. So it was a great meeting as far as I am concerned because just like today I am trying to feel better and it just isn't working. I did too much too start with and now I am so tired and I don't feel good. It makes me mad because I had plans to feel better today. Actually I do feel a little better today than yesterday so I shouldn't be complaining. What we all need to remember here is that each day is a gift and we need to do our best each day even though things are happening in our lives that we don't like. We need to adapt and just do the best we can that day. So for the rest of this day I am going to do the best I can to be grateful for all that I have right now because I am truly a very blessed person.

  1. I admire your optimism and tenacity! Here I am complaining about the small stuff that just doesn't matter in the grand scheme of things. I love you mom. You are just what Glenna said you were, a true example of the Savior. Thank you.
