I had to get my office cleaned up for the coming year the past 2 days. Working hard always give me time to think and I have done alot of that the last 2 days. I am normally organized and I had let it get VERY out of control. I found a cheap bookcase at Wal-Mart and spent most of the morning putting it together. I found myself fighting tears the whole time I was doing it. This is Keith's job not mine. Oh, don't get me wrong. I can put it together, but Keith has always enjoyed doing things like that and he can't. I was so mad. Not at Keith but, at this cancer. It has robbed him of so much and I see it robbing him even more. Even though he had his 10th and last chemo treatment it has really hit him very hard this time. It was good that he had 4 days off from it, but Mister Hard Head went back to work Wednesday and has been in bed every night at 7 by the latest. He wants to make sure that we follow one of our traditions tomorrow. On our birthday we get to pick where we want to go out to eat. My birthday is tomorrow so he wants to make sure we go out. I hope he feels like it, but we will see. I did get my office finished and it really feels good to be organized again.
Mom gave me this this morning and I keep reading it. Hope it helps anyone else.
"When you walk to the edge of the light and take a step into the darkness of the UNKNOWN, we must always remember that God will provide a platform for us to stand on or wings with which to fly."
I had to make a correction, I left out an important part of the saying.
Happy New Year Everyone. Hope 2008 will be good to everyone.

Happy Birthday Suzan! Hope your day is filled with all that is good and is very special for you. Heather's, my daughter, birthday is Dec 31. She was always upset with me when she was a little girl. She wanted me to move her birthday to a day when school was open. So I let her pick out a day she could use at school for her birthday, much happier child on the birthday issue, mom was too. I made the huge mistake one year of wrapping her present in Christmas paper. She said in a sad little voice, "It's not Christmas, it's my birthday"! She didn't want the Christmas present. I have never forgotten how bad she felt, and me too. So presents for Heather are wrapped in birthday wrapping paper, something so small and yet so important. I hope all your presents are wrapped in birthday wrapping paper. Holidays can over take sometimes. I had to smile about your office - mine is the same way - today it will be cleaned and put back in order! I had 2 Christmas parties on the Saturday before Christmas. One for my side of the family a brunch, and one for our immediate family that evening. I think Christmas was early this year. About a week. Certainly caught me off guard. Hope next year it is not early or me not late. Couldn't be me....naw. I love the quote you gave, it speaks volumes. God bless you and yours and good thoughts always. Love you- Rhonda
