We have spent the last four days in Georgia with my Mom, Sister, Aunts, Uncles and lots of cousins. I am reminded again of how blessed I am. We had an incredible spread of wonderful food on Thanksgiving with enough leftovers to allow us to graze for days.
My family loves me. I feel their support and blessings as I travel tomorrow. Our children will go back to Athens to be with friends while Tom I head to Durham, NC. I will spend this week at Duke hospital completing pre-transplant testing.
I have been purposeful in not thinking about what this coming week holds. There are some intense and invasive tests to get through in the days coming up. I have been purposeful in trying my best to be fully present while being here with my family; not allowing my mind to wander to the worries of the what if's. I will continue to take life one day at a time, one moment at a time.
Life is fleeting. There is a time and place for everything. Now is the time for rest. I choose peace in the present knowing the future will come and when it does, I will be ready.

So glad you had a refreshing Thanksgiving weekend with your family. May you experience God's strength to get through this coming week. I am praying that the tests go well and they clear you to proceed with transplant so that you will be breathing freely sometime in the near future.
I've been a bit of a lurker so far, but I wanted you to know that you also have an audience all rooting for you. You have an amazing head on your shoulders and a fire inside, to boot. All the absolute best and so much peace, too <3
