Rejoicing

I got up EARLY this morning! Early for me, anyway...6:30 am.

I missed my usual Weight Watchers meeting this week since I was out of town

and in spite of my epic fails of counting points and making wiser choices

I am somehow committed to shedding these extra 10 - 12 pounds.

So I went to a different class that met on Thursdays (instead of Tuesdays)

and this one started at 8:00 am.

To my amazement, I had lost .4. I am not sure what that is.

(I probably SHOULD know, but I'm not sure). 

Ok, so I just asked a WW Coach on their chat and they say it is 4/10ths, 

so that's almost 1/2 a pound  I lost. Whoopie!

I'm just grateful I didn't gain. So now to get back on track. Lord please help me!

So - I get out to my car and my phone rings. It's my niece. 

She says, "Aunt Dar, are you awake, I need to talk to you?"

I held my breath. Then she proceeded to tell me that her surgeon had just called her, 

and he rarely does that. He doesn't like to give information over the phone. 

He said the news was so good he had to share it with her: 

"My pathology report came back. There was no signs of cancer. My lymph nodes were completely clean. Yay !!!!!! 
And my tumor was completely gone. The technicians couldn't even find the tumor that was there. Hallelujah praise Jesus GOD IS GOOD."

Those were her words! I started to cry! We were so  happy!

After all the worry, the 8 rounds of chemo, the waiting, the wondering, 

the double mastectomy....FINALLY some wonderful news

Thank You LORD!

There isn't much that can top that news from today...

but then I was blessed with a few hours of pure joy

Their mama was getting her hair done. 

Oh what a GLORIOUS Day! Thank you Lord!
