Thankful and blessed…

Whoo hoo, made it through the first week after chemo (plus a few days). We had a nice weekend and I’m still feeling OK, as far as nausea and headaches…just super tired, mainly. And so far, still gots all my hair! 😆👍

I’ve had several really good days, overall. But unfortunately, today I woke up pretty rough with back pain. The new pain meds I recurved on Monday are not cutting it, and to be honest, my attitude and spirit was being tested all day.

Luckily, I had a lunch date planned with my Dad, Dee and brother Garr…very special people. I mentioned I was in desperate need to shop for new bras (but feeling too beat to drive to the store) and Dee whisked me off to Kohl’s with Dad’s credit card; they both refused to let me pay for my new girlie wear. Xoxo

By the time we got done shopping I was completely worn out, in pain and ready to lay down, shut down. 😭😓🤬

So I camped out on the couch…but just when I’m ready to start feeling sorry for myself, I get a knock on the door and receive a beautiful holiday floral arrangement (along with several very generous gift cards) from friends at Dalby Wendland & Co (several friends work there – through Lion’s Club, Sober Grad Board, PTA, etc.).

Ten minutes later, our beautiful neighbor Sherry H. dropped by with an adorable tray of homemade Christmas cookies and a warm hug. Xoxo

Later we check the mail and find an awesome inspirational coloring book from friends Dennis and Carol W. I randomly open the book and turn to which saying other than, “This too shall pass.”

On a day I desperately needed a pick me up, these are definitely NOT mere coincidences.

Thank you, friends and family. ❤️😭

And thank you Dear Lord for gifting me today to count my blessings instead of my troubles. Thank you for the overflowing kindness of family and friends. I am in awe and filled with gratitude!

Tomorrow is already a better day! Xoxo

Love & blessings always,

Jammie ❤️
