It was wonderful!
That was one of the best piece of coconut pie, I believe that I've ever had in my whole life. People are surprised that I didn't eat the whole pie. I did good.
I got turned down for chemo. That means that my disease will get much worse over the next year or so before I become completely bedridden. I have a rare autoimmune disease caused by having breast cancer or chemo twice eight years ago. It causes extreme muscle spasms and is literally eating my body up from the inside out. This chemo was pretty much my last chance. But i've been blessed during the last eight years. I asked God to let me live long enough to have a grandbaby and now I'm going on having 5! I've met so many wonderful people. You don't meet people here, you make friends. I've learned that. I can be standing in line somewhere and people will just start talking to you like they've known you all their lives. I still have my faith. I still believe in the healing power of God. I have been blesssed with so many things before that I have no reason to have any doubts.
I plan on doing a lot during the next year. Can you believe that I've never been to Corpus Christi? I'm going this weekend. My parents used to live there 53 years ago and I'm going to find the address and take a picture of the house or area where they lived and send it to my Mom. I want to stand on the beach and see it for the first time just like my mother did through her eyes. She said that if I ever came to Texas, that I would never leave. She was right. I'm home now. It's one of best blessings that I've had in life.
I've always been happy here. Maybe it's because of the pie! But I believe it's just because of the people. It's wonderful to know your neighbors, the kids in the neighborhood, the name of the person at the store that you do business at, your favorite waitress, so many things that make Texas so real. The way that in case of an emergercy, everyone comes out to help. Yep, we are all blessed here. And if you get a chance to have a piece of coconut pie today, enjoy it. Life is meant to be enjoyed, so go ahead. Just for today, do something that will make you happy and make you know how blessed you really are.
