Enlightened By Cancer

 

Had my PET/CT today...will get the results on Thursday. I was on my facebook page and got an invitation to join a group honoring High School friends who have since lost their lives. Reading the list of old friends who are no longer walking this earth saddens me. I wonder why I am still given the opportunity to fight and they are not. What is one's purpose? Why have I been chosen to live another 3 years since my diagnosis? I know that I am blessed. Gathering blessings of each new day and blanketing myself, emersed in the hope of years ahead to continue in my journey. To share in the love of my husband, children and family. Music in my heart, sun in my face, earth beneath my feet...I pick up a basket of pansies, purple and blue, delicate and lovely...walking on the mountain of my dreams, naked and unafraid. Glancing down I follow my own footsteps, one by one, making the journey to the hill in the distance. Continuing toward the light of the sun. Standing in the midst of God's creation I sigh and gently pluck the pedals of each flower, I sprinkle them around me. Thank you my Lord for this moment.
