Thank you Joyce.
1. How do you define beauty?
Found this online....I couldn't come up with anything.
Too many other things on my mind these days.
Colors, shapes, and sounds that feel good to see or hear.
Sunsets, mountains, and paintings that make people feel calm and happy.
Kindness, honesty, and confidence that shine from a person.
2. Have you ever taken a trip by train? If so where did you go and what did you think of the experience? If not do you have any desire to do so? Where would you like to go? (You might find inspiration here-The Best Train Trips in The World)
I did take a train trip when I was like 12 years old. I took the train from Chicago to California to spend time with my Aunt and Uncle who lived out here.
Of course they watched me closely on the train. It's certainly not something you would do with your child in today's world.
3. Shell shocked, bombshell, bandshell, shellacking, in a nutshell, walking on eggshells...choose one and tell us why you chose it, or how it relates to your life in some way currently.
These questions are tough for me today. I guess I am walking on eggshells because of all the health issues I am having.
4. Tacos, pistachios, oysters, clams, eggs...your favorite food on the list that comes in/with a shell?
I do like tacos. I prefer to eat shelled pistachios and I do like eggs. Just made some hard boiled eggs on Sunday.
5. Are birthdays a big deal in your house? Is your own birthday a big deal in some way? Elaborate.
We do like to celebrate birthdays but we normally go out to dinner. We often have a cake at the house.
We are going out to dinner when Amber and Dylan are here, along with Adam, Gabby and James. We will be celebrating my birthday on October 3rd.
We also plan on celebrating Amber and Dylan and the fact that they got remarried last year on October 6th.
James is coming home with us that night too. Adam and Gabby will be coming over on Sunday and Adam is making lasagna. Amber will be making garlic bread. Mark will be baking the bread from scratch.
(I see that I mentioned these things in my last post. Sorry, I'm just really excited)
6. Insert your own random thought here.
You are not going to believe this. I am besides myself with grief. I will take all the prayers you can give to me. It seems like my story is never ending. When will I ever be whole again.
I got a phone call on Saturday from a new doctor's office. I don't know the doctor but he has been given information to see me and take care of an issue. It's extremely depressing and I am really scared. I guess when they do a procedure, things are still sent out for testing.
Apparently the cancer on the inside of my right arm which I had the procedure done on in the doctor's office still has cancer. I have to have another surgery. I am so overwhelmed as well with everything else going on with my body.
I would appreciate all of your prayers with the hope that at some point I will be clear and free to live my life with some good health.
