Gratefulness AND anxiety

"To protect your thankfulness, you must remember that you reside in a fallen world, where blessings and sorrows intermingle freely." - Sarah Young

Gotta keep this in the forefront of my mind as I do my pre-transplant testing this week.  I'm so thankful for new lungs that are to come AND I'm full of trepidation about the hurdles that need to be crossed to get ready for the operation.  

Time to strap in and ride the roller coaster.
