Start of the new week and I am hoping it will be better than last week. I am recovering slowly but continue to be frustrated by the lack of speed! I want to be normal again - whatever that means. I think I will have to settle for a new normal. I have learnt so many things about myself and others over the last 6 months. Today I have an appointment with the oncologist to discuss radiotherapy. Hopefully the last leg of this journey. Then I will really see what normal is like when that is finished.

I continue to look for joy in each day and thankfully there is usually much to be grateful for even on the blackest days. Not least that I am unconditionally loved by the creator of the world who is interested in all aspects of my life. Who answers my prayers - not always as I would like but always as I need!

This week (all being well) brings hospital appointment, dialysis, nativity, bible study and meal out with work. Nicely busy!

Happy Monday to you all!
