Swimming, swimming, swimming!

For four days in a row, I have been swimming in someone's pool.  I have had many generous offers of people wanting to share theirs with me.  I has felt so good to be able to move freely with little pain or discomfort and to know that I am getting some exercise, too.  Thank you to everyone!  Spending a lot of time in bed causes muscle atrophy and joint stiffness.  Then on top of that, the bone and muscle pain from the Taxol chemo treatments can make the pain excruciating.  I am feeling much better these days.  Monday was two weeks since my last chemo.   We are trying to get back on a Thursday schedule so I am getting a few extra days of feeling good.  The second Taxol treatment will be this Thursday.  I will say my prayers.


We are still going to the cancer counseling sessions.  We are learning to deal with the idea that all we have is today.  Tomorrow is something hypothetical that may never happen for any of us.  Sure, you set goals and you work towards them.  But you should not spend a minute worrying about tomorrow when your life, your family, your friends, your God-given moments of Today are happening right now!!!! Don't miss them!  How many of us spend so much time worrying about our kids and their futures, or will we have a relationship with them?  Look around you.  What are you missing and passing up right now while you are worrying about tomorrow?  Live your life for today and make sure each day glorifies God.  For he has an eternity waiting for anyone who is ready to accept him....an eternity of days that measure far beyond any we will spend on this earth. Until next time my friends...
