Let the music out!

Today would not be a good day for me to step on the scale. My mind is heavy.
One biggie is waiting on Charlie and Tori to call saying they are on the way to the hospital to deliver little Noah. The time is getting close.
A c h i l d ' s birth seems so natural for this season of the year. While the weather in January and February was mild, most days were dismally dreary. March was only a little better. Several cold mornings I decided not to waste make-up. Spring has finally sprung, and nobody is more excited about that than I am. Life goes on and apparently I am going with the flow. For the first time since my breast cancer returned in the late 90's, my oncologist has spaced my visits to every 90 days instead of 30. The recent CAT and bone scans show no new activity. I am stable and that is a very good word. But, all is not well in the family. I got some somber news last week. My niece, who is only 33 years old, learned she has cancer, not just one type but two. Such a combination is rare. She's b e g i n n i n g her journey t h r o u g h chemotherapy and radiation. I pray for her as others have prayed for me. I wrote my niece a note of encouragement. She responded that for the last five years she had lost her spiritual focus. Now, she related, God was high on her list of priorities. Good. At least something positive has come from her experience. So just as seasons come and go, life dances from one extreme to another. Sometimes we hear joyous songs, other times a solemn dirge. What a deficient world it would be if we kept our music i n s i d e . nancyk@windstream.net
