As much as I didn't want to post MFC this week, I know it's even more important to find at least a few things for which to express one's gratitude - especially in the midst of pain and suffering.
Moon's mom was diagnosed with cancer 3 weeks ago. Not just cancer, an aggressive stage 4 cancer that has attacked brutally in just 2 short months. Friday morning we learned that she was hospitalized for emergency surgery. It's been a challenge trying to maintain "normalcy" at home while worrying like crazy about my extended family 3000 miles away.
~ I am thankful Moon was able to leave work and fly down to his family to lend his support, even when I cannot.
~ Lilacs. I found a sprig of lilacs at the grocer this weekend. It's amazing how smells can trigger such vivid memories. I am reminded of springtime as a child: climbing trees, riding bikes, splashing in mud puddles.
~ Cool Whip cream cheese frosting. Are. You. Freaking. Kidding. Me?
~ Trusting my intuition (for once)...And for that I am heaving a HUGE sigh of relief.
So, tell me something that you are especially thankful for today.
