I have seen the light today and am glad to say I am back in the world again!  I am coming back after this chemo in a great deal of pain but I am finding my courage from the fact that I have only 2 more doses of chemo left!!!

I have been faced with some stress these past two days and I am really being challenged to find a healthy way to deal with it!  I am in need of feeling I am doing my best but I cannot take too much out of this battle to deal with others problems.  This will be a lesson I must learn and take away from this experience so that I can be the healthiest person I can be in the future!  My momadvised me today I should tell those stressing me recently that they need to stop being a pain since they have their hair and are not going through chemo.  I will not stop fighting for all I believe in but I will not let the fight take over me when it is unhealthy!

Balance is the key to all I am trying to learn!  I know this will be a huge challenge for me!  I am the giver and not a taker, but over the past months I have had to learn how to take help from all!  I have had to learn to say I am not able to do it all on my own!  I want to see the future and be as healthy as possible because I am tired of sitting on the couch and missing out!  Please learn from me:  Life is WONDERFUL!!  Live it to the fullest and find the smile in everyday!

I look forward to getting back with my students tomorrow and see how they are doing!  I really draw so much strength from their enthusiasm and their enjoyment of all we do when we are together!!!  I am so blessed to have Lauren as my sub though!  She keeps everything going when I am not there!  She is definitely one of my angels! 

Thank you to all for your prayers over this weekend and even before that!! They are all working since I have been able to overcome all the obstacles of this journey!  I also know they will pull my to the finish line!
