Why the title for this blog?

I struggle with staying positive in the sight of adversity. It is very easy for me to dwell on the negative aspects of my situation and miss the blessings that come from the trial and so I will use this blog to help me stay focused on the rainbows of my life.

I'm Still Here

We have been having very nice weather this past week or so and today is no exception. It is warm (around 60) and sunny and I have been outside basking in the warmth.
Yesterday I swiped my sister and went for a drive to ST. Cloud. We had a wonderful time and I found some replacement parts for the cat scratcher. I hope that Fred will use it again instead of the furniture. I have felt pretty good this week and have been very thankful for the nice weather.
On Monday I start the chemo cycle all over again. I'm try hard not to think about it because it depresses me something awful and I get discouraged. There are tears almost every day and at times it is hard to pull myself together.The warm weather and sunshine beckon me to come outside and I am hoping that spring fever will hit me soon.

I have been working to clean my house and to get prepared for the next round of chemo.I am not looking forward to being sucked under by the chemo. It is the dark side of my life and it is cold and cruel.

For now I am going to go enjoy my freedom and my time away from cancer and chemo.
