Good Evening! 12 DOWN, 23 to go...

When I came back to the room Pop was actually reading a Reader's Digest magazine trying to find something to do.
For lunch Pop ate a frozen dinner that consisted of turkey, dressing, green peas, and mashed potatoes. He cleaned his plate. He also ate a couple slices of pickles, a few crackers, some sips of pepsi, and a banana popsicle. So far so good!
Then it was radiation treatment time. While he was in there I sat in the waiting area doing a little more reading from the Coping magazine. I found a couple interesting things that included some common sayings in this blog. The first article was called Lessons Learned. It was an article about one of the Miss America winners from back in 1967 who battled cancer. She said:

Putting my trust in God didn't make life easy, but it provided resources for hope and meaning. She went on to say: I've been blessed with a wonderful life. I've won awards, worn some crowns, stood on big stages, dressed in marvelous gowns, and carried impressive titles next to my name. I'm grateful for all of that, but cancer puts it in perspective. Loving God, loving people, and being present each day are the real miracles of life.

The second article was titled "It is what it is". The author wrote:

But it is what it is. I don't let cancer stop me from doing what is important. I try not to focus on the things that I may not experience in life. Instead, I focus on what I am experiencing - right now.
Happy Thanksgiving to all of you!
