My husband and I went on a short weekend camping adventure this past weekend. There is a sweet camping site about 45 minutes from our house with very clean showers and bathrooms. It actually spoils you and sets the expectation very high for other campgrounds.
The name is Wallace Campground and it has very good memories for us…back in 2019 we decided to go tent camping for the first time in….well…since I was an adult (and that has been a few years).
Now we have outgrown the tent…we need to be able to walk the next day….and I admit…I must have air…or a fan…and a fridge….but most of all I need a real bed…air mattress will not do it anymore.
So we made the step up….and now we feel like we can do things….hook up a trailer and all the things…we are thankful for friends and family who have helped us complete newbies.
There has been a lot going on and this past weekend was no exception….having aging parents while raising a teen whom you homeschool and just taught to drive are not easy….owning your own business and working part time and volunteering makes me feel overwhelmed. Somehow though…the quiet of the woods…helps. Being still….
I have four appointments coming up in the next two weeks. Three of them with my new oncologist…one of them with my Radiation oncologist. If you had told me a year ago that I would have to go to the Cancer Center so much I would have cried…but now…CT scans don’t alarm me…I just keep swimming.
When I was young…I never even thought about cancer or that it would be in my family….we all seemed very invincible….now….
I take each day….and try to figure out what to be thankful for….
Today:
- A clean dog x 2
- My Dad is doing better at the retirement home and my Mother is doing better as well.
- My husband, my children
- My business, my staff
- We have customers
- Clowning and my encouraging clowning friends
- Music and being able to play with a praise band.
- Upcoming trips…things to look forward to
- Fall is coming….
When you start making a list….those awful things in life seem bearable….count the gifts…there are many!
