Feeling SO MUCH Better!

Hello dear friends! I cannot tell you how wonderful it feels to be sitting at my PC this morning. This is something I have really missed over the last few weeks!

It is a couple of weeks post-surgery, and instead of feeling like I have been hit by a Mack Truck, I'm feeling pretty darn good!

Before I go any further, I want to thank all of you who prayed, sent positive affirmations, commented, wrote cards & letters and generally kept the flow of healing energy coming my way! I am very grateful, first, because it has made a huge difference for me and second, because it confirms my belief that the community of bloggers is such a positive, sustaining force for good!

My surgery was a complete success! The cancer was encapsulated within the uterus, so no treatment beyond the complete hysterectomy will be required! Praise God! All that remains is for me to regain my strength and get back to living life! I am still not able to make it through the day without a nap or two, but I am actually enjoying them, so I'll indulge myself for a while longer...

I'm going to try to get around to visit everyone over the next couple of days. And, as my wits continue to gather and allow, I'll post again soon!

Love & Hugs, Chris

Taking a Break

I've posted this pretty bowl of Forget-Me-Nots in hope that you'll not forget me during my break from blogging! I hope that the break will be a short one.




On the Friday after Thanksgiving, I was diagnosed with endometrial cancer. I will be having a complete hysterectomy on January 6th. The cancer cells are grade 1, which is a good thing. It "appears" to be early stage, another good thing. I am counting on the surgery to be the end of it!

I will be visiting you all as often as I can, but I can't seem to get my mind focused enough to write. (You can bet I'll have some stuff to write about when it's all over though! *Ü*)

I'd would truly appreciate your prayers and good thoughts! My daughter will post an update after the surgery, and I'll be back as soon as possible.

Love you all! Chris
