#28 Miles of the Journey Through the Rapids of Cancer- Looking Back

 Treatment is going well, and I feel so good that I wonder: what is wrong?  It feels like a trap, an ambush to lull me into a lack of carefulness and gratitude, then whamo! The roof caves in.  So, I guess the mantra for the day is to remain vigilant and grateful on a moment-by-moment basis. After all, this is a long and winding road I am on, and bandits can be around the next bends, so to speak. 

When I used to run, I would sometimes look back at how far I  had come and be amazed and grateful that I had come so far.  I do that now with this rough patch I am on.  I am so glad I have written down much of these miles of my journey.  Looking back at all I have been through to get here leaves me with the same wonder and gratitude as the miles of running  did.  

I have been so blessed to have had a life rich in experiences to refer to when life gets restrictive and more uncertain.  And I have been blessed by the presence of God in my life to be beside me now and evermore.
