So, the world still sucks cuz I have cancer. BUT I have great friends who took me on a trip to Destin, FL and it was so great! We didn't do much but I spent about 5 hours bobbing around in the ocean and tanning and in the ocean and well you get it. We went out to eat @ a place that had live gators, held a baby one, took pics. We had a great time. All dressed up and went out on the town...course we were in bed by 11, but we still had fun. It was so great to get away and have some fun with no worries. No kids, even though I missed and love them, no hubbies, again, love em, but oh what a great time.
So now, I go into tomorrow with an open mind, light heart, and tan lines. Preop appt, then back to hospital on Wed for surgery. My parents get in tomorrow as well, so all is well. I am being told the Elks and Emblem clubs from my home town are helping out with some of my bills/daycare expenses.
Things are indeed falling into place in ways you can't imagine. I finally feel at peace, that things will work out, that it will be ok, if not a hard road, the light at the end of hte tunnel is visable.
Just had to share with online sisters that I feel great going into this challenging week.
God Bless you all.
Nicole

    Great
    I'm so happy to hear that you were able to go on your trip and had a great time. You do have some great friends, which says a lot about you as well. I'm so glad to hear that you were able to just put the stresses of your recent difficulties aside for a while and just relax and have fun. I think it helps us to make better decisions when we are able to get a brief break from the stress. I pray that you will continue to have such great, supportive friends and family.

    God bless,
    Rita
