Yesterday we took Audrey for her first visit to LaFonda's ... We did a girl's day out and she was so good and never peeped through lunch or shopping! We must train her early how to do the girl thing!
Today, for the first time since I've had Chemo, I ventured out to Walmart WIGLESS!! I put on my baseball cap and headed out, warning Layni that some people might look twice when they saw me. It was easier than I thought it would be. Having my hair begin to grow back (only about a quarter of an inch) makes me feel encouraged and hopeful. People did, in fact, take second looks at me, just like I have always done whenever I would see bald women, always wondering what "their story" was. Today, I look at ALL people, even those unscathed by cancer and wonder what their story is! We all have a story, don't we?... it doesn't have to be cancer!!
The rest of the day was so normal...I cooked lunch!!! I worked in my yard and planted flowers, the sunshine was awesome! There was MUCH to smile about! As the sun begins to set, I am sitting on the back patio (something I used to do all the time) admiring the view, the big tree in the distance and the way the sun is shining on the fields behind the house. It is glorious! God's promises are unfolding, as we will see in His passion this week. I trust in His Resurrection!
My first radiation is tomorrow. A new page in this book of life! Please Pray! Have a blessed Holy Week!
