Faith and coconut pie
Today I see the neurologist to find out if I'm eligible for chemotherapy. I am as ready spiritually, emotionally, mentally and physically as I'm ever going to be. Either way, I'm going to do what I normally do. I'm going to live life to its' fullest today.
Last week I had to crawl through two rooms to get to my wheelchair because I woke up and couldn't walk. This week I'm walking. It's nice. I'm enjoying it, just to be able to walk this week.
I'm blessed. I know that you all get tired of hearing that. But I am. I live life to the fullest that I possibly can. Sometimes, it's just a feeling that a long distance friend needs a phone call. Sometimes, it's a feeling that a friend needs a ride to the doctor, but doesn't want to impose on anyone. Sometimes, it's knowing that my big old Golden Retriever just HAS to go for ride in the car. She thinks she's "Miss Daisy". Whatever it is, it is. I have wonderful friends and family that love me and they know that I love them. I have faith. My faith will carry me through today, no matter what the outcome.
And then, I'm going to go and eat a piece of coconut pie. I haven't had a piece of that pie in probably over 5 years. Now, that's about as good as life gets. Since I lost over 50 lbs this year from being ill, I don't think that one little piece of coconut pie is going to change much. Who cares anyway? So I gain a lb. So. But you can bet that I'm going to enjoy every bite of it! Go ahead, take a bite of life today. You'll feel better.
