It has been an odd day.  I really can’t tell you why.  Just odd.  My treatment this morning went a bit longer than usual. Scans were ordered and the positioning was adjusted.  H said it was to realign my bony structure.  “No one has ever called my structure ‘bony’ before!  Thanks!”

I was excited to get to the center today to give my ladies each a paper flower Doo-Dad.  I made six of them; one for each lady in the wing.  “Awe, it was nothing.  I have too much time on my hands, that’s all.”  But that wasn’t exactly true. It was nice to make them smile.  They have been so kind to me.  No matter what “they” tell you don’t believe that people no longer care about each other.  Care begets Care.  Kindness is repaid with kindness.  For the most part.

For instance, take my girls’ old Brownies Troop’s co-Leader.   Because of our kids, we became friends.  I haven’t talked to her much since we moved to the beach and I miss her.  I was walking into a store a little while ago when my husband called to say that there was a package from her in the mail today.  It was a care package full of school supplies and small gifts for the kids.  I had to go back to the van and finish my cry that began spontaneously in the parking lot.  What a wonderful thing to do for my kids.  It was truly wonderful.  I can’t wait to hear from the children after they get their package.

I am tired today.  And a bit wobbly.  Kelli and Tim are coming for dinner.  I need to take a nap, but I want to make more paper flowers to give to every person that has touched me this last couple weeks.  How different it is now.  The first two months I spent begging for treatment. Wondering if anyone cared. And now I can’t wrap my brain around all the kindness I have been shown.

Go figure.
