Thank you to everyone who is still keeping up with me even as I ramble on about some of the craziness in my life that goes beyond cancer... although it does not really have its own space in my life that is separate from all the other parts of my life.

I have had some sleep and have prayed a great deal about all I wrote about last night after attending a board meeting at my work.... I am realizing that I forgot to look at the positives that were present in those stressful moments.  I forgot to thank all the members of our staff who have worked so hard to fight for fair treatment!  I have forgot to embrace the entire staff that I call my Oak Grove Family who stood by me and even held me up when I wanted to fall apart!  Last night I was one of a large group of wonderful people!  I also have to realize that there were so many parents who were present who love us and are behind us as a group.  I have prayed a great deal and worked out all the shock and negativity to become proud this morning.  It is in the eye of the storm that we are able to walk out at the end and find the rainbow.  This is exactly how I feel this morning!  As I have done even with my biggest enemy --cancer-- I am sending the negative feelings and thoughts away while only allowing the positive things to stay with me.

AS I sent the girls off to school today I was reminded why I am here.  I am a caring and compassionate person who always wants to make everything better for others.
