My good news for today is that my sore throat is much better.  The only weird thing going on now is that the muscles in my throat want to tighten up when I eat or drink!  Very strange.  But I find that if I eat slowly and make sure it is something that goes down easy, that I can manage it.

I am so glad that I was feeling well enough to go to church yesterday.  Ken has an assignment to help in a young single adult ward and I attend with him.  Since there are no little children around, there is less of a chance of being exposed to sickness!  The talks were inspiring and the support I feel there is so uplifting.

In the afternoon, Shalane and her girls came over and I wanted to get a picture with our beautiful mums that are in bloom right now.  We had a little talk about how the next time they see me, I probably won't have any hair because the medicine that is helping me get better makes it fall out. And I showed them some of the hats and scarves I have ready to wear.

There is a hymn we sing that I love.  This is just a part of what it says and I wanted to share it.
"Silently we pray for courage to accept thy will, to listen and obey.  We love thee, Lord; our hearts are full.  We'll walk thy chosen way."

Gratitude for the day:
-Sitting outside on our deck watching the sunshine break through the clouds.
-Texts from family just checking up on me.
-Ken giving me back rubs.
