Weekend Treats
8:42 AM
This weekend was a special one. Satuday started with not one, but TWO walks. Ken and I got up and went walking early in the morning and then later in the morning I was able to go walking with my next door neighbor, Clara. What a treat to get to visit with her as we explored our neighborhood. The flowers are blooming, the trees are beginning to get there leaves and the sun was shining. What more could you wish for?
Saturday afternoon was spent outside Starbucks visiting with a new friend. What a treat to have Starbuck’s twice in one week! That’s unusual event for me. I met Kari there. She welcomed me into the sisterhood of breast cancer women. She arrived with a goody bag filled with all kinds of things to help me on this journey. The best gift she gave me were sharing her story with me along with lots of advice and words of wisdom.
Sunday began with a trip to the clinic for my weekly blood draw. Ken was even able to give me the summary from Randy’s sermon before they called my name. The draw went quickly and we were on our way home to enjoy some family time.
My Sunday afternoon was busy. I went to a “Grandmother Shower” for Kathy and was able to feel normal for a few hours. What a joy to be with friends and celebrate the upcoming arrival of a new granddaughter.
After the shower I was able to visit with another friend before attending AWE. It is always a joy to get to worship with my fellow Christians. This is something I truly miss since I’ve not been able to attend church on a weekly bases. Staying away from germs can be a challenge. The theme for the evening was “Mountain Top Experiences”. I’m not sure this counts as a mountain top experience but it was a good reminder that our lives change and we all experience different events. We each have our own challenges to face and your mountain will look very different from mine.
Right now, I’m preparing for infusion #10 which means I’ll be five-sixths of the way done.
