"That you may run and not be weary and walk and not faint"

So, so, so, it's been almost a year since I posted. It's been a crazy time, but a much better year than 2012. Still cancer free and very grateful. Another CT Scan coming up at the beginning of December and hopefully still free. So much I want to do. Still have Neuropathy in my hands and feet, but I think it's getting better slowly. Was given the opportunity to attend a After Cancer support group, but after some thought turned it down. I just don't like thinking about cancer unless I absolutely have to. I have other things in life I would rather concern myself with, like my daughter's upcoming mission to Halifax, NS. and our son's wedding in December. I have a new grandson who is just so cute, and another grand daughter to be born in March of next year. I have a son whose divorce is almost final and 2 grandsons who are paying the biggest price for all of this mess. I have personal goals and goals I want to do with my husband. I'm working on getting our home more organized and even taking an online course to do so. There is so much I want to do. My biggest challenge right now is just getting going. I seem to be in some emotional quicksand and tend to spend a little too much time watching Netflix or just being on the computer, or just sitting thinking about all I want to do. I think though that even this is beginning to improve as I am gradually doing more and more around the house, and getting myself on a better schedule. Gradually working on each room in the house and getting them organized and set up the way I want them. With the wedding coming up and Jaime heading out the door on her mission the theme of the next 18 months will be living "broke", money that is. Will have none. BUT we are very grateful, cause there is no better reason to be "broke" than when sacrificing to serve the Lord. Jaime has saved quite a bit on money but all of it went to pay off her student loan. Good for her. Thank goodness for the blessings of paying tithing, because I have complete confidence that we will be okay. Blessings await those who do what is right.
So I'm going to change somewhat the theme of my blog. The road is still going up, but in a different way. Over the next 18 months I will share how we live "broke" and how we are doing it successfully. It's a great time and I'm actually excited to see how we do. So BRING IT ON !!! Tis a great time of life.
