A Great Day

I wish you all could see me tonight: A big smile from ear to ear. Today has been a great day. A week ago today I had my first chemo treatment, and finally today I'm beginning to feel better and more like myself. Last night I even got some sleep, sleeping till 9am!!! That is the latest I have been able to sleep in a very long time. After many sleepless nights, its was nice to get in an hour of shut eye. Its amazing how my attitude has lifted now that my body is feeling better. My last treatment has made my appreciate those good days where I feel my best.

So, since today I felt more like myself, I was able to spend some time outside. I even went to the driving range!! My golf swing was horrible, but it was nice to be out in the sun and outside. However, I did notice my body got really tired after hitting a few balls, just another indication I'm losing some of my physical ability. But I have to keep telling myself I'll get it back. After the golfing range, I took my sister for her first time to Falls Park, a must-see staple of Sioux Falls. We had a fun time and I think she liked it. I hope my other sister and brother will some day get the chance to visit! Sioux Falls is a beautiful city.

We then had dinner outside, and it was a beautiful evening to spend some time in the fresh air. I don't know what it is about eating outside, but its always so much fun!! It was great to take a moment and enjoy those around me, as well as the outdoors. And talking about enjoying those around me, I am so grateful for the love and support I have received from everyone around me. It has been so inspirational to hear the advice and guidance from so many people all around me. I continue to be amazed by the stories I hear each and everyday. So Thank You!!!
