After enjoying over a week of feeling really good, it's time for round two of the chemo tomorrow. Although I thoroughly believe that we can make it less dreadful this time, I still DREAD it like the plague!
In an effort to think positively, I've decided to create today's top ten list of nice things that have happened to me recently thanks to the kind efforts of others:
(These are listed in NO particular order)
1. My co-workers, Wendy and Abbey, surprised me one Monday morning by having decorated one wall in my classroom with student work. I'd planned to do this prior to being diagnosed, so they just took my idea and finished it.....A wonderful surprise!!

2. My friend and co-worker, Kathy has sent me a card a week since this all began. Even though they've all had animals on them, they've been perfect and helped the tough days pass!
3. My brother and sister-in-law basically redecorated my bedroom....new bedding, curtains, curtain rods.........WOW!

4. Wonderfully delicious meals have been provided by: The Camps, The Durons, Sandi N., Kindall D., The Jeffcoats, The Prados, I feel like I'm forgetting some....please forgive me.
5. My sister, Nancy, has provided me with a cleaning lady twice now............what a gift!
6. My children have proudly worn their breast cancer awareness lanyards and pins to school daily. (new school pics below)
7. I have had many, many thoughtful and encouraging emails and cards from friends, old and new.............
8. I've had prayers sent my way from many.........including many out of state..........What a prayer chain!
9. My mom has worked ceaselessly to help in more ways than I could possibly list. My Dad has agreed to go on a major trip to the eastern U.S. once I'm all well...........what a trip that will be.
10. My husband continues to amaze me with his love and support. There are no words.
So, as I approach tomorrow, I'll try and focus on the above blessings. And, I'll say a special prayer for those who are going through this business without the love and support that surrounds me. I can't imagine.
"This is the day the Lord hath made; Rejoice and be glad in it."
