Oh wait I don't have a sponsor yet.......anyone want to be my sponsor. I don't know what for but I am sure we could come up with something. So here is the latest for today. I am scheduled to have my drain removed next Monday after the tests in the morning. The morning tests are to determine if I am still good for chemo on Tues. We postponed the chemo for a week and I am finding reasons everyday why it was a good thing. I was thinking about the reasons I believe I have been given a second chance here on earth. I have been saying since last year that one major reason for the second chance was to build better relationships with my family and to be able to attend their plays and concerts and to be able to see how gifted my kids are (and then brag about it on my blog). So since I believe that wholeheartedly, it happened again several times this week and if I had had chemo, I would not have been able to go to these performances.
Josh had a choir concert and when we got there (a little late) we ended up on the very front row and when Josh stepped forward for one of the songs we got to hear him sing a grat solo, and see him right in front of us. It was awesome but even though we took the camera, we were so enthralled with his performance, we forgot to get some pictures. He did a great job and I made it to the very end. Then on Tues he had another concert. This one was for the percussion and jazz band. I decided no matter how tired I was I would be there. Thanks to my fentinel sticks and hydrocodone I went and thoroughly enjoyed every song. I found out Josh did something new this semester that I didn't know he tried. Kirby talked him into taking the percussion class and even though he had never plyed it before, I watched him play the marimba in this concert. He looked like he was having a great time and he said later he was. It was totally awesome. Plus I was able to stay again to the very end.
Then, just about 10 minutes ago Justin brought me a paper telling us he had a couple of concerts tomorrow night. I am so glad that I am able to go and now I think I may know another possible reason for me not feeling ready for chemo. I would have missed some pretty important concerts for me to have missed. So if it was something else,then that is ok too, but it has given me a chance to make good on my committment and I am really trying hard to take advantage of my second chance. So with my medication and the Lord's support I will be there.

Those were the days my friend! Choir concerts, baseball games in Murray Park, Swim meets at the high school, Cheering at football games. Sweet memories of our cheering section.
Okay, I think those all qualify for "Magical Moments!" So three down and two more to go!
Great timing with these inspiriational thoughts, Jim. Tonight is Julianne's choir concert at Hillcrest. I shall sit there and savor the moment; being grateful that I am able to enjoy my daughter's music. Thanks!!
