HALF WAY THROUGH!!!

Good morning friends!  I am sniffling and sneezing and wiping my eyes (not tears, just goo), but I am in a good mood because today marks HALF WAY through the total number of chemo days!!!  This, of course, assumes we stay on the current schedule.  And, it is not half way through the total number of treatments, since those have accelerated to every week.  But, I think counting the total number of DAYS of this process makes the most sense, so that is how I am declaring us HALF WAY through the chemotherapy regimen.  YAY!!  I remember when this point felt very, very far away, and getting here seemed treacherous and scary.  Yet, here we are....kicking and not too much worse for the wear, so that is encouraging for me to think about.  Bald maybe, but even that is not nearly as scary as I thought it would be.  It's all about perspective - I am reminded of that on a daily basis these days.

Plans for the day include a board game or two and then watching the TCU v Baylor game.  I love that that game is being played today because they are both my alma maters (TCU undergrad and Baylor for law school), so it's a win - win situation.  I know this is stretching it a "bit" and I am reading waaayy too much into a college football game, but I like to think that the win-win situation of today is a "sign" of more winning and positive things to come, since "my team" will win regardless of the outcome of the game today.  OK, I admit I have more loyalty to TCU, but I always pull for Baylor also, so it's not too much of a stretch.  All right - end of football analogy.

So, enjoy your day, and let's all be thankful for the gifts we have been given.  Half way through any challenge is cause for celebration.  Hugs to you!
