Could It Be?

      I love my little house!  I love my life!  I particularly love it today.  Today feels like the first day of summer.  And I'm sitting here wondering why. 
      Could it be that I'm on the other side of side effects from a chemo treatment?  Last week was beastly.  Didn't get dressed all week until Thursday afternoon.  I"m here on my own - and It's okay.  On those very lethargic days, the last thing I want is to talk or interact with someone else - too independent, I guess.  I don't answer the phone, not interested enough.  I had plenty of Canada Dry ginger ale  and Italian bread toast - the only thing that tastes good.  And I know if things get really tough, there's a whole raft of people to call on.   I will have a Pet Scan on May 30th to see if these first three treatments have changed the "increased activity" that precipitated this series of chemo. 
     Could it be that two weekends in a row I've had a daughter to take me to Church?   Most likely, you know what that means to me.
     Could it be that last night, Maureen and I attended a performance by The Second City Traveling Troop?  Probably!  We enjoyed them so much.  Could watch them again and again.  All day long, we have remembered and started laughing about something from last night.  Both of us needed that fun night.
      Could it be that I finally figured out how to get music from a USB thingy to my computer to my playlists?  Sometime ago, I gave son-in-law, Gregg three Readers Digest LP record sets that we had for years and we couldn't play as we no longer had a turn table.  He took them home and recently put them on the USB thingy and mailed it to me.  It's been great listening to this wonderful old music and every once in awhile you hear the scratches from the old records.  So cool!.  What a great gift.  When we bought those records - which I think we paid a little each month to purchase -  we would play the record until it was done, turn it over and play the flip side and do the same thing with the next record.  I'm sitting here listening to country music with no interruption.  Who'd a thunk it all those years ago?    Download and Playlist were not even words in the dictionary let alone a USB.
      Could it be that I got the screened in porch washed down yesterday morning?  I did!  Clean floor, screens and siding.  This afternoon Maureen put chairs out there and we sat there and visited.  Nothing says summer like sitting on the porch.
       Could it be that we bought and Maureen planted the pots on the patio and around the house?  White petunias in a pot to the left of the front door - to balance the white mailbox on the right.  And the other pots on the patio in varigated  marigolds  - her idea - very simple but looks great.  White petunias in the window box and other pots by the garage.  Bill - who mows and shovels snow for me  - moved two big pots  to the back yard.  Two tomato plants in one and a cucumber vine in the other - that's my garden this year.  Also, this week, Jeff,  the landscaper,  took out the burning bushes to the right of the garage and planted red knockout rose bushes.  In a couple of years, they will be amazing.  Blooms all summer.  I love the pink roses around the back porch and in the corner garden.
      Could it be that I know how blessed I am by Our God  and the people in my life?  You Betcha!!
