This weekend we went to visit the Art Department at a University my daughter wants to attend. It was lovely….and we probably found her place….but it will all be up to her.
We then went back to Bella Vista instead of taking the long way straight back home….
Bella Vista never disappoints….
But first….Springfield…..if you try….you can find beauty anywhere….
Hidden steps in a coffee shop…
Fantastic coffee that was suggested by locals….
Then we found a lovely secondhand bookstore!
Fabulous Greek restaurant….
Ellie enjoyed visiting the largest public university of art…
We then headed to Bella Vista….
Enjoyed time with family and going to the Farmers Market
Then off to another used bookstore!
I feel this healing inside of me…..
I am not the same….not worse not better….but changed.
Life is more precious…simple pleasures are more important….
I am finally popular…..at the cancer center🥴
And that’s ok….those people have been a sweet balm when I didn’t want to keep trying.
Every three months….I worry….then every six months I’m scared of what they will find….and it’s the in between that makes me the most scared most days.
But if we worry about the six months….the three months….have we lived at all?
I count the gifts….books organized by color….naps with the dogs sleeping nearby…flowers that I planted blooming. Sunny days and gorgeous flowers….new cars and coffee….baby birds in a nest on your front door…
Life is big….and overwhelming but it doesn’t have to leave you defeated….
If you are going through tough things it’s ok to laugh….take a break…enjoy life.
Life is a precious gift
