And All Was Well

 
As the title says, all was well!!!

After my last post, I thought I would let you know that I am breathing easier. My doctor appointment with my oncologist, Dr. Terstriep, went just fine! She found nothing new and for that I am grateful!
 
Arland and I decided to head for the lake for a few days after my
appointment. This is what we saw as we enjoyed the lake Monday evening. What a glorious sunset!!!
 


 

And "All is calm and well!"

The Storm




 
Thoughts are rumbling through my brain mirroring the
thunderstorm outside.
 
My thoughts are reflective of the weather. Half my thoughts are preoccupied by dark, stormy thunderheads while the other half smiles in the gloriously brilliant sunshine.
 
My heart quickens every time I think about tomorrow. This will be my first appointment with my oncologist since my treatment ended nine weeks ago. The big question rumbles and looms...
 
 
What if she finds something new?
 
 
This is just a routine visit. All will be well.
 
Then I remember that this all started 16 months ago with
"just a routine visit" during which I fully expected that "all would be well".
 
My cloudy, tumbling side booms with doubt.
 
My bright, sunshiny side whispers that all WILL be well.
 
The dazzling blue sky that is now peeking out from behind the thunderclouds tells me to be calm. Breath deeply. Be calm. The storm will pass and all will be well...
 
And calm!
