Peace be with you too

Day 40 and 10 days. Hummm....what's she doing now? Another number?

I'm sitting on the couch right now, with the porch door open. Its overcast and cool this morning, and the birds are on fire! Ok, not a blaze, but they are chirping up a storm. I just watered the Topsy Turvey tomato planter and can hear the water dripping into to the metal catch pan we placed below it. Sounds like rain on a tin roof. Such peace and so much gratitude.

It has been 10 days since my last plasmapheresis treatment!! It really is amazing that i went from being so very dependent upon these treatments, to now beginning to think about when may be the right time to remove catheter #4. God is good!

For the past week, I find myself feeling like a kid out for spring break. Yay, class is out, and we get to goof off for a few months. Maybe the reprieve is short lived. Maybe we are preparing to graduate class all together. Who knows whats going on just yet, but I'm enjoying myself during the break. Perhaps I'm a little nervous to think this part of the journey is approaching. What's next?

Sitting here chatting with you, I know in my core that whatever comes up next, its crucial to remember where we've been, what the emotions are, how we deal with given obstacles, and to be able to relate this to others or to reapply the lessons we've learned. Whatever is next, we'll be ready. Cant wait and worry. Well, we can, but choose not to. Besides, today is day 40, and the birds are chirping. Its a good day!
