So much to be thankful for

Grand holiday time in Oregon with a bonus day in Fort Collins! Traveled to Portland with Cathy and we had such a lovely time with Carrie, Lux and Adam. My beautiful daughter made it so special for us. Had so much snuggle time with Lux (will get a picture posted soon). He just makes my heart sing!

On the way down to chemo yesterday, I heard this song sung by Josh Grobin called Thankful.

Somedays we forget

To look around us

Somedays we can't see

The joy that surrounds us

So caught up inside ourselves

We take when we should give.

It ends with, "There's so much to be thankful for ."

Indeed!
hugs,
chris

Enjoy the season!

Water level back up, holidays are here, off to see Lux and Carrie!

I hope that you all have a season full of blessings.

hugs,
chris

water level slipped

It has been a weepy week. I think I have done a pretty good job of keeping the glass half full. This week, slipped below the line.

I had a PET scan on Thursday morning. Shows stable. That is good news. But, this week, it did not feel like good news. It felt discouraging. 77 freakin' chemos and it is not going away.

I know, I know. It is not growing. It has not wandered into other body parts. I know I am lucky. I have not lost body parts or organs. I can still go to work, do things.

But, this week. I am just feeling a little beat up.

And, I hate that.

I am going to focus on my blessings. I am going to get that glass filled back up.

hugs,
chris
