By now you've probably thought that I was never returning to enter another post; well I am. I have been busy to say the least. Rachel and Curtis back to school and Brad leaving in the morning for Boiler Country! I will miss him but I am also excited for him.
I try to keep a bright perspective on things at all times; I do not let the devil in any more! I really mean that too. I have learned that being positive is just plain good for you, and that being negative and passing judgement can harm us. I know, I know, but it's true.
Take for instance, my having chemo on Monday; I am looking forward to it as it will help heal me and remove any remain cancer that may have been missed. I truly believe there isn't any, but you never know, and I don't want to take that chance.
I am trying for the first time in my life to read the Bible also. It is very challenging for me, still, I make time in my life everyday for a little bit.
I also am trying very hard not to pass judgement on people, as they are all God's children. If this is too deep, please stop now, however, these are the thoughts that are going through my mind, and I need to be more positive and less negative. No more worries either; they are in God's hands. I grew up worrying and was taught to worry, but the new philosophy is not to. It is very cleansing to me. I truly do not sweat the little things as I know in the grand scheme of things, they are just that, little. Worry leads to anxiety and right now I need to stay calm.
I talked with a very good old friend tonight and all I can say is how wonderful it was to hear from him! We talked and caught up on the High school Reunion that I just missed. I missed a good time, but I will be at the next gathering they have. He informed me of some diet practices that I was truly not aware of and I am going to try. I want to be healthier and live a long life. Why not try it? I will be going to Barnes and Noble tomorrow to locate the book on my to do list now!
Anyway, life is good and I feel very blessed as usual. I will never take another day for granted like I used to.
My Dad used to wake up in the morning and say, "What a great day it is today, isn't it?" I never thought much of it until recently, but he has the right attitude upon rising. Be thankful for everyday and tell someone about it. That is what I am going to be doing from now on! I know, I know, but this is where I am right now!
God Bless,
Kathy
