Subject: RE: LilyFestre - Port is "on board" chemo continues
I woke up this morning felling HAPPY!!!!! It's been awhile since that's happened, I usually have to sit for a minute and focus myself on something outside of my diagnosis. I was thinking about Veronica when I woke up and how soon she will be here!!!! Also, the bone pain has subsided quite a bit...YAY!!! I hope this means that it's about over with for this cycle!!!!!

I went downstairs to find my husband boiling potatoes for home fries and kneading dough for bread. Mmmmm....smells GOOD in here! I spent most of the last hour cleaning out a basket of old catalogs and magazines. The basket also contained a few notebooks and books too.

In one of the notebooks, I found a bunch of poetry I copied by Rumi...stuff that just makes me smile. And on this spring day where the ground is mush, the birds are singing and our bull is joining in with the chorus, I found this....and it made me smile so I'm sharing it with you:

The Music We Are ~ Rumi

Did you hear that winters over?
The basil and the carnations cannot control their laughter.
The nightingale, back from his wandering,
Has been made singing master over all the birds.
The trees reach out their congratulations.

:) Happy Spring Day Everybody!
