I had finally gotten to a point where I could go through all of my fall and Halloween craft goodies and came upon this little booklet....
I had started with a FB and Youtube group called "Listers gotta List", she gave us prompts every month and then we could journal. This was a new idea for me and I had latched onto it pretty strong... It was such a shock to see this as I had just started a bit late in September. But I was so enjoying it... then Chris had got his cancer diagnosis....I should have journaled through the whole process but I just couldn't put the words on paper....made it too real, too scary at the time.
Literally our world stopped as we knew it....all of the joys and hardships of our lives went away...and we went just into survival mode....chemo, hellacious surgery, more chemo, infections, poor blood counts, all of it just became our only existence. To keep him alive and have him survive this onslaught!
We are all struggling to get back to life, and frankly so happy for the struggle....Chris is doing so well ( thank you all) and recently had an MRI and CT of his chest as bone cancer of his kind goes there a lot....it was totally normal! ( Thank you again ) He is in PT for strength in that leg and chomping at the bit to get back to his life....this is where the patience comes in....we are not done with this particular road we travel but I can see the junction ahead. But we can breathe again...almost a year to the date we are back into everyday life and it is so sweet....
And so, this morning I am grateful for this chance to begin again.....
For me, this photo says it all....blank pages... waiting to be inspired and filled with the joy of living...again!
Thanks for stopping by....
