Amazing how one instant can turn me from looking forward to a day to pissy about everything. Emotions are high. Disappointments are high. Lonely is high in certain areas of my life. And I am human. I want things to go my way. In fact, after six hard and gross chemo-sick days, apparently I feel that I "deserve" to get my way in this moment (know that "deserve" is a a word I have almost fully stricken from my consciousness, I don't believe in "deserve" for the most part). So immature of me. Most days I feel successful In maintaining positive. In this moment, I'm trying to keep my emotional mouth shut while this moment passes through.
Grateful for silver linings, one of which is how family and friends are gathering around us in prayer and with offers of support. Cancer is a lot of hard things. It is already proving to be a lot of connecting with loved ones and strengthening of relationships and that is so, so good.

Realized my attitude is me questioning God's timing. Had a talk with my Lord. Laid it down at His feet. Feeling better. Glad He loves me even in my crazy.
ReplyDeleteAnd the day just kept getting harder, tears and tears flowing, just overwhelmed by the realities of oncology appointment and thrombosis doctor phone call and so much more to get through. Feeling blue.
ReplyDeleteBoo for these moments, esp when they seem to last forever. Prayers for a good night sleep and an easier ability to process & sit with things tomorrow.
ReplyDeleteLove you lots & sending endless heart hugs...

Hi Kristen, I follow Les Brown on FB. I thought you might enjoy his word today.
ReplyDelete"You've taken a hit. Life has knocked you down, but you are not knocked out. You have more going for you than you realize. Others might laugh, and say you're through. But they don't know you like that. You have the ability to pull victory from the jaws of defeat! Now is the time for you to gather your wits; clear your head and mind; and dig down deep. Resolve to unleash your creative energy, unstoppable attitude and resourcefulness.
This is your time and your moment to prove to yourself and to everyone else who you really are. You have the power to change your circumstances; to change your finances; to love again; to rebuild relationships; and to create your own job or business. You have the power to open the doors of possibility, and move your life forward. You have the power within you because you have something special...you have GREATNESS within you!" ~ Les Brown
Hoping today is better for you, having some (or lots!!) of emotions myself :(
ReplyDeleteYou are in my thoughts and payers tonight.
