Since I didn't go to church today, I decided to re-listen to General Conference. Twice each year, we listen to our prophet and leaders of the church. It's very inspiring and really helps you self evaluate and become better. Well with little kids, it's hard to pay attention for the 4- 2 hour sessions... so it's so nice that you can re-watch and listen at your own convenience.
I loved this quote from the talk "Choose to Believe" by Elder L. Whitney Clayton I listened to today-
"But all of us will, at some time or another, have to traverse our own spiritual wilderness and undertake our own rugged emotional journeys. In those moments, however dark or seemingly hopeless they may be, if we search for it, there will always be a spiritual light that beckons to us, giving us the hope of rescue and relief. That light shines from the Savior of all mankind, who is the Light of the World."
Having cancer is hard. Although I have it set up pretty well, it's still physically and emotionally exhausting. Since chemo, I've had very few moments where I actually feel more like myself. There's tons of <not fun> side effects, but I know that there is an end in sight. Hopefully this is the only time I'll have to go through this, but if not, I'll know what to expect and I'll know that this is what I have to do to keep chugging along. In the big scheme of things, this is little. There is a light that is beckoning when I'm down--- telling me that I can do this and this is to curb me into what Heavenly Father needs me to be.

I am bawling one minute and then laughing the next. You are one amazing lady to have such a positive outlook on this whole experience. I truly hope everything goes well and want to let you know you are in my thoughts and prayers. I've got to stop reading your blog at work. People are going to think I'm crazy sitting here crying in my office. Keep Smiling.
