I love white...

I thought a little more on my love of white - and smiled. Ah, if it makes people wonder about me, no problem! Tonight I got some great news of one of my friend's sister having lymphoma. Not sure if I have the form of cancer correctly but he said she's past the chemo now and is doing great. It fills my soul with so much joy that she's past that hurdle. I learned that which doesn't kill us makes us stronger, and Jimmy's sister is well on the road to how tough she really IS! I met yet another cancer survivor tonight - he's 9 years past his cancer and seems to be doing wonderfully. He chose to not go through the chemo/radiation treatments. It makes me ponder all the issues of doing chemo vs. not. Psalms 139:13 "I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made..." No kidding. No disrespect either - but something so simple, so profound. Our bodies are designed for a purpose, and I don't know what my purpose is in this life...but I'm working every day to be the best that I am. "Yesterday is history. Tomorrow is a mystery. Today is a gift. That's why we call it 'The Present'." attributed to Eleanor Roosevelt and I had this posted once before on my Facebook page. Those of us who've gone through a life altering experience understand why today IS a present. It's not a play on the word, it's reality.
