I Love My Bug, but...

I wouldn't not make a good testimonial for VW. I love my bug, but it would have been nice to know that owning one, means visiting an auto shop more than I would care to.

My Promise to God

I woke up early feeling as fragile as I had the night before. As I sat in quiet mediation I made a promise to God, that I would not hate every step I took towards the lab in preparation of my chemo but instead I would give thanks that he would be right beside me during the long walk down the hall.

I did as I promised and by the time I walked out of the infusion center, I was feeling stronger.

Mayan Mocha

I took advantage of a good day at work and light traffic and stopped at a little gem I recently uncovered, thanks to the my sweet daughter-in-law.

I really went for the Mayan Mocha, but I enjoyed the grilled chicken salad immensely, too.

All Good Stuff

The pie, the coffee, the conversation and the company. It was all good stuff.

The Opportunity for Love

Every day is an opportunity for Love.

The Beauty of the Morning

Missing my babies, but grateful for the beauty of the morning.

The Quiet Moments

It's the quiet moments before all the busyness and expectations begin that I treasure each morning.

With the Grace of God

The morning had just broken and already I was exhausted just thinking of the walk from my car to my office.

With the grace of God, I was able to make it through the day.

A World of Good

A new coffee shop with my besties. It was the best mayan mocha that I've ever had.

But more importantly just being out in the word did me such good.

Wasted Day

It felt like a wasted day.

That's because it was.

The Start to the Weekend

It was a ray of hope and once, again, I was reminded that there is heaven here on earth.

It was a good way to start the weekend.

Precisely What I Needed

It was one of those days. Blood test, oncologist appointment, chemo and then to the office for a presentation to our sales team.

God gave me precisely what I needed precisely when I needed it. He is so good.

Hanging On

Somehow I was convinced that today would be my day and in it I would find joy again.

Turns out I had to hang on with everything I had just to make it through the day. I'm so happy to be home now.

Another Victory

It was one of those days...my body hurt almost the whole time I was in the office.

It felt like such a relief to make it through the day without leaving early. And the fact that I'm still awake three hours after I got home is still another victory.

Soaking in the Goodness

It was a cool winter morning, So Cal style, complete with skies so blue, Tahiti waters would be jealous.

I soaked in the goodness, healing my soul from the weekend.

Apple Pie

It was a horrible Super Bowl game, from start to finish, but it was the call that came less than thirty minutes before the game was to start that put a damper on the day. When she asked if I wanted some apple pie, I didn't hesitate.

Yes.

The Moments I Live For

She's the daughter of my Bestest and I love that there is a connection between my baby girl and her's.

These are the moments that I live for.
