Sorry for late post. But I have been doing 'normal' things!!! I walked into Wokingham and shopped - all on my own! Who would have thought that would have given me such pleasure. I felt so normal. I think I have reached the corner and am turning the right way. I know I have a long way to go but I am going in the right direction at last. It is lovely to know that there is no more chemo around the corner. I am SO thankful to begin to feel better. I am exhausted now but feel very happy to have managed the walk. I am also so thankful to everyone who gives me blood which enables me to walk. How important independence is and how much I have missed it. Being able to drive again is the next step.

We had a lovely day yesterday - church and the challenge of grasping why God wants us to pray when he already knows all things. Then Savill Gardens with friends where we managed to miss most of the rain. The rose garden which was opened last year was looking wonderful and the smell was beautiful.

I feel so privileged to live this life and so joyful. Please remember to treasure each day you have and take joy in all your relationships. Hug those you love often and tell them frequently how much they mean to you as you never know what is around the corner. It is such a good reminder to hold short accounts - so much doesn't really matter when you really think about it.
