So no one ever told me there would be a sequel to this journey…until yesterday.

My pre-chemo doctor’s appointment on Friday was an eye opener. One that I am still trying to fully absorb.

And while my head and heart do so, avoidance of the sequel was the plan for today. A Christmas Carol, shopping, dinner and fireworks downtown with the family was what I needed…we needed.

Tomorrow is another day. And I will face my new challenges with grit and grace.
