Hello to everyone and thank you for your love and prayers. They really do strengthen my day. What a day in the news -- Farah Fawcett this morning and then Michael Jackson in the afternoon. No matter what we thought of each of them, each had their individual lives with all of the challenges that we each face here on Earth. We cannot know their journey so let's not judge their choices.
I didn't realize how serious my "episode" was until I had a couple of doctors tell me how close I had come to bleeding out. Realizing that my life could have ended that quickly is pretty profound. I remain so aware of each of my days as I travel this road and I ask you to remember that this could easily be your life also. Seize the day. There are no do-overs. Don't waste time on trivial things. BE PRESENT TO THE MOMENT and make each moment count. I question how well I really do that versus just talking about it...
And how 'bout my new poster boy -- Steve Jobs!! I'm planning to follow in his footsteps and make the transplant a reality. Not sure why we were detoured, but we'll get to Indy and make this a reality!!!! He has the exact kind of cancer that I have and his liver transplant is progressing well.
I love all of you. I thank you for providing such a strong support system. I thank God for your gifts and your willingness to share them with me and my boys.
Not sure when I'll go home. I don't have enough energy to get out of bed or get up from a chair yet. Nurse says my electrolytes could cause that...or too much potassium in my system today, etc. I'll ask the Doc more tomorrow.
I'm going to rest now. You are welcome to check in tomorrow, but if I don't answer, it just means I'm trying to rest, sleep, read. I know you are -- you've shown me that ten times over.
Be well,
Lenette

Good morning Lenette-
So good to hear from you and your contagious positive attitude. Rest, my dear friend, rest to prepare yourself for the "Steve Jobe Journey". PS, I'm taking your advise and planning two extra days in San Antonio after the national community foundtion conference!!! "Sieze the moment" by dear friend advised!!!! XOXOX Roni
Good morning, girlfriend! I am so glad to hear that the procedure went well yesterday. And as Roni said, thanks for your contagious positive attitude. I sent out an email yesterday morning with the blog instructions as you wanted me to do. The prospect of a Steve Jobe Journey is so exciting. I am so excited for this appt to be re-scheduled! I am going to the lake later today to watch Luke in a race tomorrow in Warsaw. Not sure what day I will be home, but I am always just a cell phone call away. Thanks for having Kathy give me a call on Wed evening. She sounds like a real dearheart. Rest, eat, and do whatever brings you joy! I love you, Beth

Prayer is the answer to every problem in life. It puts us in tune with divine wisdom, which knows how to adjust everything perfectly. So often we do not pray in certain situations, because from our standpoint the outlook is hopeless. But nothing is impossible with God.
Nothing is so entangled that it cannot be remedied; no human relationship is too strained for God to bring about human reconciliation and understanding; no habit so deep-rooted that it cannot be overcome; no one is so weak that he cannot be strong. No one is so ill that she cannot be healed.
Whatever we need if we trust God, He will supply it. If anything is causing worry or anxiety, let us stop rehearsing the difficulty and trust God for healing, love, and power.
So release any fear or worry or burden you may have to your Father in Heaven and trust in Him with all your might. He will carry you through this! Nothing is impossible with God. NOTHING is impossible with GOD!
Lifting you in prayer my friend!
