Back At It!

Well I have arrived for the weekend at the lodge. This week I will experience it for a full week - Monday to Friday.

I was excited to be back home for the weekend to see Stephen and the girls. Boy, did I miss the continuous activity of a full house - my family. The playing with the "Barbies", the drone of the TV, the mess of papers because some picture was needing to be drawn, the busyness of Sunday morning, even the sisterly "spats". It was good to see how well Stephen held up the fort. I knew that he would do well. I am constantly amazed at how strong he has been through this past year, how loving and compassionate, and how considerate. I have grown to love this man more through this experience. After sixteen years of marriage, we have been through a lot and I am most proud to call him my husband.

As I was driving myself to the lodge today, I was thinking that I was going to make this a good week. I had left the lodge eager, and I mean EAGER, to get home. I must say that I was not looking forward to enduring the next 22 rounds of radiation in London. I was dreading returning to the confines of the lodge. I was dreading the slow passage of time. As I returned today, I am hopeful that this will be a good week. I am willing forward to whatever new opportunities and experiences I am blessed with. I can't wait for whatever surprises God sends my way - I hope they are good ones.
