The new normal

Some things I'm finding out about myself… I have to be careful about not getting too tired. I can go through most normal days without any problems, but if I do to much, I get tired. Any driving of any distance wears me out. I also have no stamina. I can barely walk ¼ of a mile without being out of breath and being shaky. It’s something that I will have to work on building back up to. I’m not certain that my shoulder will ever be the same after the surgery. It is still painful and I still have to watch what I do and how much I lift with that side. My fingertips and feet still have some numbness from the chemo and that may never go away… But, I cannot complain. I am alive and able to see my grandkids. They were my reason for surviving. I will still have issues for a while and possibly deal with some things forever but that is okay. This is my new normal. I have been blessed with good friends and family and I have grown closer to my Heavenly Father through all of this. I am grateful…

I've decided that I need to have some goals, so here goes...

1. Get a system that will allow me to track my bills and payments.

2. Walk as much as I can even if I don't feel like it.

3. Read my scriptures.

4. Spend time with my Grandma. She's 94 and won't be here forever.

5. Fill in the gaps in my genealogy.

6. Learn my new camera and get comfortable with shooting in manual mode.

Here are a couple of moon shots that I took last week. I'm thinking they aren't half bad...
