Time flies....

   Time flies....how many times have you heard or said that? The last few weeks have flown for me. I"ve had a list of things to get done and been working hard at crossing them off my list before the first snow flake falls.
   Thomas and I have been laying new wooden floors and ceramic tile in the house. We put this off during my chemo and we've been working hard the past few weeks. I was off yesterday (Wednesday) and I worked in my gardens preparing them for winter while Thomas laid the last of the tiles. It was warm enough that I was able to hang clothes on the line.
   We finished up at the house and we had a few things to do out at Linda's house. Once again Denise fixed an awesome supper for us. After dinner we talked about the scholarships that Denise was working on. I was trying to remember all the ones Sarah applied for. Sarah applied for one and you could only apply if you were 4 foot 11 or shorter. Seemed there was a little old lady out west who never grew taller than 4"11. She had a ton of money and wanted to spread it around.
   The one thing that I notice most after having chemo is my energy level. I can remember working in my gardens, mowing grass and being busy for most of the day. I would work non-stop and only rest a couple of times to enjoy a drink of water. Now I need a break about every 20/30 minutes. But I'm thankful that I'm still able to do the things that I enjoy.
   A belated thank you to all my friends who sent me birthday wishes....xo
I was given a book by a good friend tilted, "When You Need to Know Your Strength"-messages of hope and healing for people living with cancer. One of the quotes states,
   When it feels like the whirlwind might blow you away, think of how deeply rooted you are by love, how held down you are by the people who care about you.
