Divorce is a hard thing, for those of us that end up going through it, it can be one of the most life changing challenges we will ever have in our family. I was married to my first husband for almost 25 years. There were good times and then obviously bad, because we are divorced. The decision to divorce changes the lives of more people than just the married couple. It changes lives for generations to come. My grandchildren feel the strain and they weren’t even around when the divorce happened. They have nothing to do with it. The immediate children suffer the most. It is so hard for them, and yet they learn from divorce also. My prayer for my children is that their marriages will be stronger from it. I pray that they will be kinder, more understanding and willing to be nicer, keep things even, and just be friends. The biggest thing is to smile, even the grandmas! This little girl can tell you all about it.   https://youtu.be/OnNDb7fNEjs

Sunday family day

September 22, 2015

Today was a fun Sunday day. After we all went to church we had dinner at our house. Some people left for their Sunday naps and others hung out. The instruments came out and the entertainment stepped in. Over all it was just fun, I love music in my home and the sound of laughter  mingling with singing.   I love to hear my husband play the bass. This doesn’t happen very often. We had cousins over, Tanner is a great addition to our family!  What a fun family. so very blessed.

I Am Tired, But Life is Good

September 18, 2015

A year ago I was a in Coeur d’Alene, Idaho at the State Junior Miss-Distinguished Young Women Pageant with some good friends and having a ball. We laughed, shopped and ate, oh did we eat, and I had a stomach ache that kept me up all night. It didn’t keep me from having fun, but I just hurt. The Doctor says that the Lymphoma that is invading my body at this time is fast growing, 3-6 months, but I was having issues then. Lots of heartburn and just plain an “ouchy” stomach. It hurt to push on it and I was bloated. I was better off just not eating much, but what fun is that? I know what the doctor says and he is a specialist on lymphoma, but I also know this stomach issue has been going on for quite some time. It has been a week since my last RCHOP (chemo) treatment and I am feeling much better.  I need to remind myself that it gets better. I had the privilege of opening another gift from Heather, and I get to work on gratitude. I get to make my own song about my favorite things, good friends, people come and

Pacmans Are Eating the Cancer

September 18, 2015

Wow!  My body is so all over the place, all of a sudden I am hot, and it is crazy hot, and then I cool off and I get chilled. When I am hot, I also get really thirsty, I will drink a couple of cups of water, and then of course I need to go to the restroom. So this goes on all night. I felt Jim in the wee morning hours and he was all toasty warm and snuggled in the covers, I thought, “that is what a regulated body feels like” Oh, I ache, it feels like little pacmans are biting me and ripping off the skin. On my feet, inside of my legs, arm pits, under my boobs, and my back. I wonder if I can really wear a bra today. But I am suddenly hungry and I dive in and get dressed. When I get hungry I better eat, or shortly the urge will go to barffing. (This is so dramatic, and I know, but this imagery illustrates what I’m feeling well) I look at my phone, a sweet message What a blessing to know people are praying for me and contact me at just the

Pressure creates both diamonds and volcanoes. This process is both.

September 8, 2015

I was sitting in church and I had a ah-moment. This cancer experience is changing me, it will make me a better person. I am learning things I could not learn from any other experience. I have always been a strong action person.  I can clean my house, organize a room and do 5 projects at once. Now I am learning how to work with my words. When I am up an moving it needs to count, and count well. Because climbing the stairs may  put my head into a spin, my heart in a race and I have to lay down. This is new experience for me to not be strong and healthy.  This is a new kind of confidence I have never known. I always would plan on how my hair would be ahead of time. Braid it one day and have it wavy the next. Curl it well and the next it would still be curled. Now I dress and am learning how to tie a scarf and hat accessories. It is a whole new world. Yes, it is a whole new world to walk in confidence and be out of my comfort zone.  I thought it
