First of all, let's remember Christy's dad, Tam Wilson as he undergoes open heart surgery this week. She left a blog comment that her dad is still in the hospital and needs our prayers.
I may blog later but I'm having a hard time putting my thoughts together. I did receive this via e-mail and I thought it was good food for thought.
Until later, love to all!
Happy New Year!
A Great Recipe for a peace-filled life in 2009
1. Take a 10 to 30 min. walk every day. And while you walk, smile. It is the ultimate anti-depressant.
2. Sit in silence for at least 10 minutes each day. Talk to God about what is going on in your life. 3. When you wake up in the morning complete the following statement, 'My purpose is to __________ today. I am thankful for______________'
4. Eat more foods that grow on trees and plants and eat less food that is manufactured in plants.
5. Drink green tea and plenty of water. Eat blueberries, wildAlaskan sal mon, broccoli, almonds & walnuts
.6. Try to make at least three people smile each day.
7. Don't waste your precious energy on gossip, energy vampires, issues of the past, negative thoughts or things you cannot control. Instead invest your energy in the positive present moment
.8. Eat breakfast like a king, lunch like a prince and dinner like a college kid with a maxed out charge card.
9. Life isn't fair, but it's still good.
10. Life is too short to waste time hating anyone.
11. Don't take yourself so seriously. No one else does.
12. You are not so important that you have to win every argument.Agree to disagree.
13. Make peace with your past so it won't spoil the present.
14. Don't compare your life to others. You have no idea what their journey is all about.
15. No one is in charge of your happiness except you.
16. Frame every so-called disaster with these words: 'In five y ears, will this matter?'
17. Forgive everyone for everything.
18. What other people think of you is none of your business.
19. GOD heals everything - but you have to ask Him.
20. However good or bad a situation is, it will change.
21. Your job won't take care of you when you are sick (this doesn't apply to me because my work family has been awesome!!!!) . Your friends will stay in touch.
22. Envy is a waste of time. You already have all you need.
23. Each night before you go to bed complete the following statements:I am thankful for __________. Today I accomplished _________
.24. Remember that you are too blessed to be stressed.
25. When you are feeling down, start listing your many blessings.You'll be smiling before you know it. :-)

Tigger lost his bounce yesterday but not the battle "-)
Yesterday I was so excited because I finally felt that I could get out of the house for a few hours. I had not been out since Christmas, except to the hospital.
It was such a beautiful day and just getting into the car....oh, I thought in my mind, "I am free today!" Kimberly, a friend and I went and grabbed a quick lunch and went to 2 different stores so Kimberly could exchange some Christmas. I was feeling so good and energetic. My feet were hurting from the neuropathy but then again, pain has become constant so it didn't keep me from bouncing from place to place. "-)
I had such a good time and was thinking....finally I'm over this last round of chemo.....until last night. I became so sick. I was trying to be quiet because Steve had already gone to bed and I didn't want to wake him. Poor thing, he goes to work and then has to spend the evening and night comforting me all the time!! Never a breath of complaint from him but I wanted to give him one evening he could go to bed early and not have to worry about me. So, I lay in bed silently moaning so he wouldn't hear; praying the pain would go away and not awaken him. He finally awoke around 3 am. and asked how I was.....
I have to admit just having him to comfort me just made me feel better. However, it didn't remove the pain. I was freezing, yet my body was so hot that I thought I might be running a fever. He finally got me a pain med., as I realized that I had gone hours with pain and couldn't stand it for another minute and at 3ish am. ....back to my recliner. I immediately put on the massager and the heat. By the time he showered and got dressed for work, the pain med had set in and I was feeling better again. It is so frustrating to feel one minute you could pass out from all the pain and then hours later, tolerate the pain and move on to do what you need to do. However, thank the Lord for those hours of moving on!! :-)
Today, I have stayed in my recliner and decided that I won't go out again. It has taken me longer to get over this chemo treatment. By now, I can at least get around with less pain. The doctor told me these last treatments were going to be the worst but I just mentally challenged that thought....and prayed it not to be true. So far, I think they were right....I'm living with the effects and the cumulative effects!
So, Tigger turned into Eeyore today. Bouncy, bouncy to slow moving but hey I'm moving so there is a bright side. I did get a few hours of normalcy.
Interestingly enough there are all kinds of sales going on at this time of year. 75%-80% off of so many things but yet, I think to myself...."we don't need anything." The gift of contentment to be walking and having somewhat of a normal day was satisfaction enough.
I, of course always read my blog comments. I've noticed that some of you are somewhat shy to share your needs. This journey is not just about my sickness but about sharing and caring for each other. Please share your needs so we can all pray for you. Tammy, I'm praying for your healing with lupus and that your bronchitis goes away, In Jesus Name. This is a perfect forum for letting each other know what we need so we can all be praying for each other.
Yes, I have/had cancer but my need is no greater than anyone else'. I'm going through a battle but so are so many others. I want to help you pray for your needs, it is why the Lord has brought us together. He is in charge of the war but we have battles that we must go through. As it says in the Bible, where 2 or 3 are gathered praying....that is what we can all do. There are approximately 400 people that get on my blog....that is alot of people praying. We also have churches that we can take our prayer requests too....so let's journey together by praying for each other as we have but let's share our requests, okay? I look forward to praying for all of you as you have for me.
I thank each of you for all your encouragement, blog comments, cards, letters, etc. but as I grow stronger in my body....I want to pay it all forward for someone else. Let's continue to reach out to one another and grow stronger in our families, faith, health, finances...it is what God designed. I want to be a part of it, don't you?
I am so excited....can't wait to hear from you.
Love to all,
Leah

"Life isn't about waiting for the storm to pass. It's about learning to dance in the rain."
The beast has certainly rained on my baby girl’s parade, but
the parade must go on . I know with her awesome spirit and
attitude she will continue to dance in the rain, until the suns
shines again
Yes, she is dancing to a different beat. But she is so
determined. Every day is a different tune, different step.
Even though they are few and far between on the good days
lifts are high, emotions are soaring which makes her waltz
through the day. On difficult days we feel like we do
cartwheels and head spins, just trying to figure out what the
next step should be to end the pain and sickness.
Christmas lifted her spirits and made her tap dance to the
music.
But Wednesday’s chemo treatment ended all of that and now
she is battling another round of sickness. This has been a very
difficult chemo treatment. With her blood count very low she
is very weak and unsteady on her feet. Her days are spent in
bed or in her recliner.
As a mother, for her sake I smile and try to stay
upbeat. But I will admit it is the most helpless, depressing
feeling a mother can experience. It is so difficult to watch
your child suffer and to know you can't do anything about it
but pray. The tears stay in my pillow... but I arise each day with hope again that God is in control and he has her in His hands. If you are a mother I am sure that you understand my feelings.
Many people have told me to keep her fighting. Believe me she is a
fighter, but the journey has been long and the weariness sets in.
Leah's faith and attitude amazes me. No matter what happens or how bad she feels she never wavers in her faith.
With her trust and faith in the Lord she will continue to dance
in the rain knowing that every rain cloud we see today will
bring a rainbow of hope for tomorrow.
It is your prayers, cards, emails, food, acts of kindness that
gives us strength each day to keep going.
In most cases when you become ill and must take time off from
work in the beginning you may get flowers, and a few cards
and then you never hear from your coworkers again. This has
not been the case with Leah's work family. I am amazed how
they have supported her every step of the way. You all are
angels~~~ I thank you!
After 7 months Steve and Leah are still receiving food from the
church family. In the evening you hear the door bell ring and
there stands some precious lady with their whole evening
meal prepared. How awesome is that??
And Vernie, Leah's #1 fan ~~~a phantom friend because we
have never met. All of your prayers and encouraging
comments that you have posted daily for Leah have been
awesome!! Leah and I must meet you sometime for lunch
after she is feeling better.
To my Lathem family who checks on me daily and gives large doses of love and encouragement... I thank you!

I can't even begin to name names because there are so many people that have touched our lives in so many awesome ways.
We could never repay the kindness shown to us. The only thing we can do is to pay it forward after Leah's journey is done.
Our hearts are overflowing with gratitude. Thank you ~~ Thank You!!
As my father always said," And it came to pass" and it will.

Leah posted today...see below.
I feel better today! :-)
My legs aren't as weak as they were yesterday. I was in so much pain and could hardely walk. This chemo stuff is crazy. One minute it has you crying from the pain and the next, you can deal with the pain. I'm so glad I'm on the home stretch!!
Today is rainy outside. I'm wondering when I can get out again. I'm not sure if I will know what normal will feel like again.....although I know the Lord has things in control, I'll still know that this "thing" is lurking inside of me, just waiting till I'm unaware. I don't ever want to be unaware again. I'm a planner and I didn't plan for this so it has made me realize how important it is to lean on Jesus. We cannot always know what is ahead but we can know who the planner of our universe is!!
I'm not afraid, I'm just aware. If you've not had exams or yearly physicals, I would highly suggest you do. I've always kept mine up and still I'm dealing with the unknown....however, most times, you can find out if you are diligent.
Cancer is not of God. God can cure cancer, or any disease. He has given us our bodies to serve HIM. We have to do our part to honor him with our bodies. This is why he said to serve him with our soul, mind and body. How can we be a witness to others if we are broken down and not taking care of ourselves? Have you ever seen a teenager with a new car? They polish, clean, and make sure that it stays as nice as possible. This is the way we should be with our bodies. We should cherish the earthly vessel God has given us by using it to help others.
How do we do that? We can do things for others in times of need or just a helping hand but we must use our bodies to honor God. This we do by being an example of HIM. We do not need to be vain but we must maintain what we have in order to continue to fulfill his mission. If we are not here, what use are we?
I think of the homeless. Many of them are where they are because of mental illness. Some of the homeless may have been born with the illness but I would bet that most acquired this because of their inaction to life. Life brought them so much abuse or heartache at their own hands that they do not have a mind that can reason. Or yet, they were abused to the point that they cannot reason or logically sort out things. This is where God steps into our lives, if we allow. He can remove the pain, the shame and replace it with victory.
My bro-in-law's family and church family visit the homeless every week to feed and clothe them. What an awesome blessing to those people. It seems like every week is just a repeat from the last but God has things in store for those that hurt and are weak. My bro-in-law told us about 1 man that has totally changed his life. He works a full time job (a job my bro-in-law helped him acquire), is never late, hard worker and doesn't want to be known as the "former homeless person". This is all because someone cared enough to get up early every Saturday morning and take a meal to someone less fortunate!
Make today a great day and do something for someone else. Just a smile, pat on the back, let someone sneak in front of you on the ride home....some sort of gesture that gives someone else a reason to smile back or pay it forward! Don't let today be just another day....make it a great day!
As always, it is because of all of you that I smile each day! Today is another day God has blessed us with breath. Make today your day!
Love to all,
Leah

I've never felt so bad!
I have obsolutely no strength in my legs at all. I can hardly walk and have been in alot of pain. I will try to blog tomorrow. I've sat in my recliner since 6 am. this morning and was so happy to see Steve walk in the door. He always massages my legs and today.....well, I really needed the massage and support.
God is always good and I know he is going to get me through this. Thank you for the prayers!
Please pray for the 3 young ladies that lost their fight this month to cancer. They were all younger than me. Very sad!

So, let's play Ketchup!! ha. (I do know how to spell)
So, it has been a few days since I've blogged so let's see how much I can catch you up without boring you to tears!
First of all, as you know this is my chemo week. I went and had chemo on Wednesday. Having off the extra week had me mentally more charged than prior treatments. Well.....I always start out in the lab to get all my lines hooked up and my blood taken so they can insure I'm ready for treatment.
They could not get any blood. My port had finger like blood clots all around it. They had me stand up, wave my arms, jump in place, hold my arms above my head, you name it for about 30 extra minutes than normal....no blood return. I had to be stuck in my arm. I always ask for the best sticker because I always seem to get the person in training. I was assured I was getting the best and the funniest of all. It turns out the man beside me was having a birthday so they all decided to start singing.
Let me remind you a couple of weeks ago, the nurse who spilled all the blood all over me was singing the Flinstone song to me. I asked her if they would hold the singing until she stuck me (I've turned into a wimp). She said that she was so good that she could sing and stick me. Well, let's just say that it was needless pain for me. She did not do a good job and it was obvious she was more interested in all the surroundings than she was digging in my vein. I guess these are things that I dread the most!!
Anyway, the rest of my doctor's visit and the actual chemo infusion went fine. I was fine until last night. I had sat in my recliner all day. I just didn't have energy but I felt okay. All of a sudden, my body just started with the worst pain everywhere. Whenever I get into this much pain, tears immediately start flowing. I do not even try to cry but it is a automatic reaction. However, the worst of that is my eyes are very sensitive since I started chemo and as soon as the tears flow, it induces more pain. My eyes feel like they have hot sauce in them and the tears just make the rest of my head burn! Steve gave me pain meds, which I had tried not to take all day and it helped but didn't really get rid of all the pain. He and I both went to bed in pain. I ended up waking up and getting him pain meds in the night.
I woke up nauseated so he got up and got my steriods and all the other medicine I take. I think we are turning into 2 old granny and grandpa grumps in our late 30s, early 40s....who would have guessed? However, thank God we have each other. So many do not have what we have, I thank God every day for my blessings, which of course, always includes my family. God is surely good all the time.
Oh, we had one very exciting addition to the family. The day I had chemo, my neice went into labor and gave us a beautiful baby girl. Her name is Nevaeh (heaven spelled backwards). I've been unable to visit her but they gave us pictures and others who have visited said he is a beautiful baby. I'm just so happy that she is healthy. Cuteness is just beside the point! :-)
I'm headed back to Emory this morning to get my bag removed. I'm hoping that it will not be too busy and we can get in and get out. Our parking each time we go, costs $10. It is hard to believe that it is so costly, especially when you go so often. However, they do not have much parking and do not offer anything special for their chemo patients so you just do with what you have.
Well, I'm going to go and lay down again before I have to leave in an hour. As always, thank you for your constant support. It is a wonderful feeling to know you have those standing in the gap for you every step of the way. It makes all the little things seem so insignificant in the big scheme of life.
Hope everyone had a wonderful New Year's. Mine was spent on the couch but hey, it just makes me one step closer to the end. I'm willing to give up many things to make it to the end. I hope you feel the same way in your walk of life.
As always,
Love to all,
Leah

Well, I'm going to go and lay down again before I have to leave in an hour. As always, thank you for your constant support. It is a wonderful feeling to know you have those standing in the gap for you every step of the way. It makes all the little things seem so insignificant in the big scheme of life.
Hope everyone had a wonderful New Year's. Mine was spent on the couch but hey, it just makes me one step closer to the end. I'm willing to give up many things to make it to the end. I hope you feel the same way in your walk of life.
As always,
Love to all,
Leah
