Blessed
I awoke feeling happy today. During the past 2 weeks I have sewed with Van, weeded in the yard, mowed our lawn, attended the temple, lead a Relief Society discussion, sang in the ward choir, joined the sister missionaries in teaching new friends, visited with Relief Society sisters, visited local quilt shops, saw a movie with friends, met with Maddie for her transition to Supported Living, and recognized how much the Lord has blessed me. Physically, I have had some moments of low blood sugar, diarrhea, and malaise, which have reminded me just how much my health has improved since last November when I was so very sick and in the hospital. I am aware this current hormonal therapy will one day become ineffective, and other therapies, perhaps less pleasant, will need to be utilized. But for the time being, I am enjoying some grace and generally feeling better than I have for years. My step is more energetic, I feel happy more frequently than anxious. Blessed.
