Looking Forward.

I am looking forward...to more years of being Breast Cancer FREE!

All is well!

This lovely sewn portrait is an applique on a Breast Cancer Quilt in one of my doctor's offices that I visited today. It was too lovely to pass up, so with permission I took a pic of the quilt and focused on this one for my post tonight. I wish I knew who did this to give her due credit for her lovely work. I added the white printing.

It says what I felt today...Looking forward...

Day by Day and with each passing moment,
Strength I find to meet my trials here,
Trusting in my Father's wise bestowment,
I've no cause for worry or for fear,
He whose heart is kind beyond all measure
Gives unto each day what He deems best
Lovingly it's part of pain and pleasure
Mingling toil with peace and rest.

Day By Day Oscar Ahnflet, 1813-1882

My wonderful husband accompanied me on to my follow up today. We both anticipated GOOD NEWS...but were prepared. I was so happy to have him along..a comforting friend...and my dinner date!

We celebrated the good news at Longhorn Steakhouse. I was LOOKING FORWARD to this nice meal with him. A FREE one at that! We used a gift card we have saved for this occasion..so making it that much more fun!

To yell... FREE ...FREE of Cancer...FREE dinner!!!

I really like the Western decor of this restaurant. Notice the saddle and the lassos and the sculpture cowboy... and of course on the back wall a LONGHORN!!

Look at the lighting...love the cut out cows and the horseshoe..and the antlers on the smaller light.

Our dinner was a nice peaceful moment to reflect on the goodness of GOD towards us this day.

Thank you to those who have kept me in prayer!!!

I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills, from whence
cometh my help. Psalm 120:1

Celebrations

Seems that PINK comes into my life in so many different ways since my Breast Cancer journey.

My husband and I recently CELEBRATED our 37th wedding anniversary out of town. During our stay at a Hilton Garden Inn; the restaurant breakfast chef surprised us with the most GORGEOUS plated of Marcapon filled Cinnamon French toast...unbelievable delish!!! Drizzled with a thin strip of strawberry syrup and powdered sugar sprinkles..surrounded by fresh blueberries and strawberries and these two lovely flowers!!! Wishing us a HAPPY ANNIVERSARY!!!

This along with the view of a city from the large picture window and our prayer of thanksgiving to the LORD. It made a wonderful beginning to our day.


Little did the chef know that I will soon have LORD WILLING another HAPPY ANNIVERSARY!... in January it will be my Cancer Free two year mark!

I am scheduled for my LAST follow up Mammogram this coming Monday. If all is clear..it is back to the ROUTINE ONE YEAR MAMMOGRAM. Did YOU get yours THIS YEAR!????

If by God's purpose...he has chosen for it to return...I am prepared. He does all things well...for me. I trust his care and PURPOSE in my life and even in the midst of trial...anticipate the GOOD that comes to those who love HIM.

Romans 8:28 And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.

Many blessings come in so many ways...such as the Special Breakfast...a touch of kindness!

Special blessings come in trusting the LORD each and every day!

Isaiah 26:3 Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee: because he trusteth in thee.
