I’ve been feeling really good the past couple of days.  Still tired, but good.

And all I can think is that this is a gift that I need to savor.

The bad begins again on Tuesday but today I feel good and that is my focus.

Someone asked me how I am feeling and that is what I told them.  Today is a gift.

I cried a little when I said the words.

Today is a gift.

There is truly nothing like having the wind knocked out of you to make you appreciate the gift of being healthy.

And people, I am healthy and strong and cancer free.  All this I am doing is in order to give me the best chance of keeping me this way.

I am looking for the gifts in my life.  My little boys wanting to spend time with me.  My dear friend telling me she loved me today.  An old acquaintance sending me a card telling me that her family keeps me in their nightly prayers. My husband holding my hand and making me laugh out loud on the sidewalk. Gifts.

Today is a good day.
