Day 116
I look healthy in today’s photo. I feel good too. My eye has finally cleared up, my cold is mostly gone and I slept from about 2am until about 6am this morning, unmedicated and undisturbed. Don’t mind the tank top, it’s been unseasonably warm here the past two days.
I have a story to tell you that I actually should have told you on Easter Sunday night. As you know I’m very very scared about my upcoming radiation treatments. Well it rained Easter Sunday evening and afterwards I went outside in search of a rainbow to photograph. Lo and behold there was one. It was faint and hard to see but it was there. I can think of no better sign than a rainbow in the sky on Easter Sunday evening to prove that everything is going to be okay. Every time the worries creep in to my head I try to remember the rainbow and the beautiful sky after the brief rain on Easter Sunday evening.
I've edited this photo so you can better see the rainbow.
The clearing western sky was gorgeous. It made me think of paintings depicting the resurrection.
As much anxiety and worry and fear that I’ve dealt with throughout this process there have been equal moments of peace and serenity. My friend Angel always says to listen to the universe. Well I’m choosing to listen to the rainbow and golden sunshine on this day of rebirth to see me through the frightening 2 months to follow.
Thank you so much for stopping by every day to read and comment. I say it daily but that makes it no less true, I love you all.
Love,

hey there,
Here’s a thought. Why not now in the spare time you have make a special journal and jot down all the good things that have happened and are happening in your life, include all your favorite things, your favorite pictures, your love of the Cape and how special it is to you, keep it close to your heart and I bet it will make the months to follow easier for you and bring you lots of good memories and more to look forward to in the future.
Hugs,
Suz
Reading this took me back to the day my nephew Dalton was born & the docs gave him very little chances of survival. As I drove home from the hospital in tears I look up toward the sky and there was a magnificent rainbow. To me, it was saying “Everything is going to work out!” Dalton will turn 13 in June. So glad I found you via Twitter and can now follow your blog. Sending good thoughts your way.
Bet, thank you for your kind & uplifting words. I’ll keep them in mind as I go through my treatments.
ya gotta listen ;-)
Angel, I’m trying. There was yet another rainbow this afternoon.
I think Suz has the greatest idea!!!! Think I’ll do that myself!!
Jeannie, I think I’ll try my hand at it as well. I’m looking for something to keep my mind occupied during treatments.
