    I thought this was appropriate for the "grateful" thread.

    I am grateful to feel up to a few day trips with my family. We had a beautiful day at the beach and we played games and we went bowling. I'm purely tuckered out but it was such a blessing to be out with my family.

    Grateful for all my friends here and above all, that I get to wake up each day. Grateful I can step away from BCO for a while and still come back when I can.

    I have been busy writing my story lately. In my faith, we are taught that our trials are for our benefit. God lets us go through tough things so that we can learn. With all of my writing, I came to an interesting conclusion. Cancer may have been one of my hardest challenges, but it has also brought the sweetest rewards.

    I am grateful for all of the amazing things I've been learning since cancer came into my life.

    I am grateful for inspiration. I had a little of that today. Sharing what it turned into. I hope it makes you smile.

    Behind the Pink

    Dreaming,

    She steps behind a pink curtain

    Wearing a flowing pink gown

    She hadn't been wearing before

    Of this she was surely certain

    Strangely,

    In the room, there is a pink box

    Plainly labeled "Lost and Found"

    She knew that it was hers

    In her hands, pink keys for the locks

    Curious,

    She sat down on a pink chair

    To unlock the box and look upon

    The mysterious contents therein

    Lifting the lid, she began to stare

    Surprisingly,

    The box is filled with many pink things

    She had thought were lost

    A picture among them, of her...before,

    To which her heart still clings

    Excitedly,

    She removed her silken pink gloves

    Oh so carefully, she began to retrieve

    Those precious things, yearning to

    Regain all of her past loves

    Sadly,

    Some slip from her grasp, into the pink pile

    But this simply reveals more things

    She hadn't yet noticed before

    Although they'd been there all the while

    Wonderingly,

    She pushes aside all the pink things

    There, behind the pink, she finds

    A new picture of herself

    She is beautiful, and she has wings

    Suddenly,

    A mirror appears, bordered with a pink frame

    With awe and wonder, she sees

    All the things the pink has changed

    Knowing she would never be the same

    With hope,

    She turns from the pink all around

    Like a caterpillar becomes a butterfly

    Her pink chrysalis had been

    Filled with things both lost and found

    With joy,

    Her heart need not sink into the pink

    For she has wings, and she is beautiful

    And so she soars among pink clouds to find the Sun...

    Behind the Pink.

    So true Foots, so true. Christ says that we should take upon ourselves His yoke, for it is light. Service does so much to lift the spirit. And no matter what, there is alway something we can do, even praying for others from our beds.

    I am grateful that I got to play the piano for Primary at church today. I love to sing, and radiation has ruined my voice. But I can still play the piano and I really enjoyed listening to the children sing. Little pieces of heaven.

    2TA, I didn't realize you had a fire by you?? Hope all is well.

    Today I am grateful my son is doing well out on his own. I sure do miss him, but I'm glad he is moving forward with his life. We are now officially empty nesters.

    grateful DD got accepted to the nursing program she was hoping for (she had to fight for acceptance, but she did it). Sadly, she will be moving further away, but leaving a difficult roommate situation for a much better living situation so that's all good
