Day 22 - Camping, Almost ⛺️ - March 31st

One of our daughter's went camping with her little family this weekend, of course that made us long for that kind of experience even more! Alas Robert couldn't take it anymore, he had to have an experience that brought him the comfort of being outdoors! WALAH! Instant happiness! Maybe no nutritional value, but certainly better than canned soup!

What A Treat - Guess Who's Plate This Was?

Hint "Chocolate Milk"

Day 21 - Another Wonderful Day- March 30th

I'm sure I am a little repetitive when I mention how much we have appreciated all of the kindness and care everyone has shared with us, but it so overwhelming to feel of so much goodness!  We will forever be indebted for your thoughtfulness! 

It was another fun day, as we found another new me, another new him, and a comical new us with a little help from our friends! My new 'do' was finished up today and I was so excited to have hair again! 

Robert didn't feel it was quite fair that I should be the only one sporting a new 'quaff since he has long since said goodbye to a few of his 'frocks.

So...... Fair is Fair, don't you think!

Day 20 - Wahoo - March 29th

Another day to Celebrate! They took my central line out today, not only a giant milestone, but definitely a giant step back to having life closer to normal. Definitely a Happy Dance Day!

Day 19 -  The Winds of March -March 28

It was much too windy, to be out for a safe walk today. I'm not sure if it was missing that rejuvenating experience or that if it might have just been one of "those" days, but I found myself laying down most of the day. Still found so much to happy about and grateful for! It was so joyful to hear the neighborhood children, jumping on our trampoline, their delightful squeals were like a song to my heart.  Although  it did make me miss my own grandchildren incredibly, I know that day is not too far off!

I also was the recipient of the  sweetest letters from my little better twinner (My sweet little 9 year old friend from our ward that shares the same birthday with me) along a surprise gift dropped off on our porch. How much was my day lifted through other's thoughtfulness!

Day 18 - Rainy Days Bring Time For Refelection - March 27th

I am moving into my third week since having the stem cell transplant. It is quickly fading into the past and Robert and I spend time making plans for the future.

Time with our children and grandchildren, time with our friends and neighbors, time to give back for all that has been given and most of all time to remember my Savior.

Sunny days lie ahead and are yet to be enjoyed.

Day 17 - For The Beauty of the Earth - March 26th

I am finding out recovery may not stay on the same continuum as the days go by.  Good days might not always follow good days, and bad nights don't have to follow bad mornings.  This morning I was a little taken back to not feel as well as I have previously felt, spending most of the morning in bed.  Although, probably not eagerly I did get out of bed and ate a little lunch my loving caretaker (Robert) had made. I have to admit, it was the last thing I wanted, but with his encouragement (insistence😉)  It went down fine! Infact I enjoyed it! I'm only sharing this because as shocking as this may seem to some, sometimes hubbies really do know best!

END OF STORY- The day just got better and better! This evening we were able to enjoy the most peaceful beautiful walk, again another testament of God's love for us through this amazing beautiful world!

Day 16 - Happy, Happy, Happy - March 25th

Out of my 100 days of happy, I am sure this day will be one of the happiest! Because of my low immunity system, Amber and her loving husband and kids have been watching our cute little puppy, Kimba during this process. Quite a selfless act of service to undertake!  Amber has been so good to keep Kimba in my life by sending almost daily pictures and texts to let me know how she is doing. Even though I'm not quite well enough to have Kimba back in our home, today I got visitation rights!

💕🤗😘😁💓😁🖖👌💓💕💞🐕🌞🎆🎉

Yes, Robert thoroughly sanitized me afterwards!

Then to top the evening off, we were able to enjoy women's conference! 

My spirit was lifted and my soul motivated to give back all the grace and goodness that has been shared with me! And how 'bout that incredibly beautiful music! So Soul Stirring! So grateful for this gospel, our leaders, and my wonderful family and friends! An awful lot to be happy about!
