Happy Thanksgiving ...

I have finished the 3rd week of radiation therapy and have another 4 more to go. In 5 more weeks, "A" and I should be on our way back to Saskatchewan. Time flies and also stands still, all at the same time!

When I was under the radiation gun this morning there was not much to do except think and pray. Think about the past, think about how my future might be and then ask the Big Guy to give me the Power to accept my future as it unfolds. It was also a time this morning to think about the past 6 months and GIVE THANKS for the people who looked after me, who prayed for me and for those who gave me encouragement. It certainly is a good 2007 Thanksgiving weekend.

Tomorrow I get a chance to make a turkey supper for my 2 sisters, Maraine and Loverne, who are currently enjoying the wonderful sites of the Maritimes. They are currently "lost" somewhere in Prince Edward Island and they have picked a great day to see the wonderful provinces of PEI, New Brunswick and Nova Scotia.

I am lucky to have 2 sisters who travelled a long way to see me. As I was lying under the gun, with my pants pulled down, waiting for the radiation to begin, I felt gratitude and I felt very lucky to have such good fortune.

I wish everyone a Happy Thanksgiving weekend. Next year, I plan to cook a turkey for my grand kids!
