Walking in the Rain
Walking through the pine trees on our little graveled
lane this morning, we saw 5 deer run across in front of us. We see their tracks every day, but have not
seen them for some time. Last year’s
fawns are nearly adult size now.
We walk three times per day for at least 20 minutes, two
of those times were in the rain today. A
cancer diagnosis makes one think more seriously about the need to actually DO
those things we all know we should. : ) Another one we are actually doing very
faithfully; NO sugar of any kind other
than is naturally occurring in fruit, and a little stevia. Amazing how quickly priorities can be reset
when the need is so urgent.
I want to share the name of an excellent book we are
reading, which I think I have already mentioned; Outsmarting Cancer by Tanya
Harter Pierce. She also has a website
which has a great deal of information; outsmartyourcancer.com. Information there could help save the life
of someone else struggling with these same issues; quality of life and death.
Leland is doing well, we had a great day yesterday. Nice weather, a new fan arrived for the
greenhouse, Chuck and Del came over to help us out and Chuck installed the the
fan with Leland assisting. Then both of them worked in the garden
getting it ready to plant. Thank you so
much!
Leland has been tired today, probably overextended
himself yesterday, but overall is feeling mostly well, no cancer pain, and in
good spirits.
Our thanks today to Del and Chuck for helping us
yesterday, to Kathy and Dan for taking our garbage to the dump, and to Pat for
the yummy frozen cherries-great dessert, easy and healthy! And last but not
least to the God of Heaven for imparting His strength when we are weak.

ReplyDeleteI hope you post photos of your greenhouse sometime.
ReplyDeleteWe are thinking and praying for you often. We appreciate being able to follow your journey. It is not and easy one but we feel confident that with God's blessing it is the right one. Your trust in God is an inspiration. May God be close to you both. Just know that you are in our prayers and we love you much, Geri & Leslie
ReplyDeleteI'm thinking of the VanTassal clan a great deal these days. I offer you sunshine, love and plenty of hope. My mother was diagnosed with a 1 in a million cancer/ disease about 12 years ago. After several years of treatment and negative diagnosis, five years ago my mother was the first person to EVER hit remission with her disease. I share this with you for a story or hope.
ReplyDeletePlease know that I'm thinking of you all and am very sorry that your family is going through this difficult time.
Much love,
Jillian (Todd & Cher's old basement housemate)
Jillian, thank you for sharing your mother's story. Hope is a wonderful part of life! Thank you for caring-you are special to all of us!
ReplyDeleteGeri and Leslie, Thanks for your prayers. As you know, sometimes the way if difficult, but we will get through it knowing that so many care and are praying for us, and that most of all God cares. Thanks for posting here. : )
