A catalogue of birthdays to celebrate in my family today from the youngest to the oldest, to those who have gone before us.
All around us are reasons to be grateful and optimistic. When out for a short walk yesterday, there were signs of new growth in the shrubbery as well as the spring flowers cheerfully colouring the woodland floor. Spring has sprung!
I’ve enjoyed a feeling of real calm over the last week even though there have been hospital visits for PET and MRI scans. What a wonderful blessing the NHS and its employees are. What positivity, skill and compassion they show.
And prayer. The amount of prayer offered on my behalf has lifted and supported me on “eagle’s wings”. Thank you!
And now we’re in Holy Week, a most sacred week for Christians the world over. A hope-filled time preceded by trial and sadness. But joy wins out in the end.
I don’t know what the visit to the oncologist tomorrow will tell us, but I will go feeling well and hopefully deal with the news with courage and optimism, remembering that there are thousands and thousands of others who carry their troubles alone. How blessed am I.
