The new normal has shown its way through. I realize now the wisdom of those sisters who have come before me in this fight as I find the new 100% for me is lower but still allows me to keep going! Strength is just redefined and priorities are reshuffled in order to get all things accomplished in life.

I am getting ready to go to bed tonight after spending a wonderful evening with one of my dearest friends who I have known since I was in K​i​n​d​e​r​g​a​r​t​e​n​. She has dropped everything to drive in from Ohio with her family and stay near to spend this time with me. She has helped me to find peace tonight and know that as each one of you walks hand in hand with me on this journey I will NEVER be alone! She is taking this time to share her strength with me and then when she goes home our hearts will be entwined with all this time we will have but then she will ask that others come to hold my hand and be near me. This is the chain of life that I am learning to live through and I am in awe of it all!

I look forward to going to work tomorrow and then taking the next two weeks as a break to bring my body back. I go to the oncologist Thursday for LAB work and meet with the doctor. Then the next treatment is on the 30th in the afternoon.
