What a Week.

Talk about running into yourself coming and going, that has been my week. Running here and there to take the boys or pick them up. I'm tired!!!

On top of everything busy, we got two bombs dropped on us yesterday. First at work I got a very hysterical call from my sister. She had just gotten the news that our niece has cervical cancer. She was crying her heart out. After talking with her a while, I was able to get through to her that I had had cervical cancer over 31 years ago.(But who is counting.) It is very survivable if treated early. I am a survivor and I still am. I wish my niece didn't have it, but if she has to have cancer, I am glad she has one that she can beat.

Then, that same night, I got an email from my husband's niece. It seems that my husband's great nephew is in the hospital fighting for his life. He has been diagnosed with an extremely aggressive leukemia. This young man is only 16 years old. This is his second fight for life. He almost died when he was born. This is just so unfair. This is a young family with four children. This young man is their oldest. Please everyone, pray for Austin. May God's will be done.

So, I may vent, moan and groan, but I have a good health life and I am very thankful for it. God has blessed us repeatedly. The boys may have their behavioral problems, but they are strong and healthy. My husband had a triple heart bypass 6 years ago, but the doctor told me they caught it before there was any heart damage. So, am I blessed?? I have to say yes, I believe so.

Tomorrow is Friday. It has been a long week. I could be sad and in the dumps. I think I would rather be thankful for the many gifts I have received.
