Quintastic! - Singing a Song of Gratefulness.

Turning fifty hasnt been as traumatic as I thought it would be. I think the events of this past year has put everything into perspective. Considering that a few months ago I was lying in a hospital not sure if I was going to live or not, makng it to my next birthday is a welcomed event!

After spending almost a month in the hospital, a couple months in a wheel chair, needing to use a walker to learn walking again, going through several months of dialysis, taking loads of medicine, enduring six months of chemo and daily nausea, and losing my hair...I can honestly say that I feel great today!

I am so grateful for the health and strength I'm experiencing today! God has been so good to me! When I was very sick, I prayed that I would live long enough to see my first grandchild born and be able to attend my daughters' weddings. In June I was able to be at Jack's birth and Paige is getting married in September.

Everyday, I am grateful to be alive and enjoy my family, aware of the many gifts of grace I get to experience.

So, on my birthday this year, instead of feeling blue that I'm getting older, I made it a celebration of God's goodness and faithulness to me.
