Book
I was given a wonderful book by a dear friend that I find myself reading over and over. It is called, "Embraced by GOD, facing chemotherapy with faith" This mans journey thru cancer treatments and life is so similar to mine it's scary, thou I think most people who are in treatments have similar experiences. He ends each chapter with a prayer and from time to time I'm going to post some of them. I only wish I could take credit for them, they say exactly what and how I feel. Since I've been up early this morning and reading this one was at the end of the chapter I finished and thought it was appropriate for today.
GOD fill my life with good friends, wonderful food, meaningful conversation, and, most of all the sound of laughter. You are the source of all all joy, so bring more laughter into my life and allow it to piece my hard edges and find it's home deep within me. Help me to see the humor that is present in my life. Help me to laugh at myself. And when I am at those low points, when laughter is just not possible, remind me that laughter will come again. Amen

The "T" word is a tough one. I remember getting that one myself (after which I promptly went to the pub for a stiff drink). I'm so glad they have treatments available that will help. If you want to chat, one "T" to another - I'm always here for you.
