Recently on Britbox streaming TV I watched a series based on P. G. Wodehouse's Blandings Castle and other books about the family of Lord Emsworth. I checked the library and found a couple of the books, read them, then bought some more titles from Thriftbooks.
I need something light and silly right now for a distraction from health concerns - mine and moms.
So if you are looking for silly stories, I recommend these.
As I am dealing with worry and uncertainty I started back to writing in the notebook on the left.
I didn't want to share all my random thoughts on this blog but needed a place to write down things to get them out of my head and onto paper. It has helped me gain perspective on the things that are going on with my cancer diagnosis and all the anxiety surrounding that. I write down Bible verses that mean something to me and questions that I want to ask the doctor.
I opened Mere Christianity to the page that I last read and started to read and meditate on the enormous ideas C. S. Lewis explains so well. This has helped me so much with my anxiety. I have underlined parts that speak to me. I see the importance of slowing down and taking time to think on God and why we are here and why we need to be connected to Him.
Surgery is a few days away. I am asking for prayers for me, Martin, my family, and the medical team. I am hoping for cancer to be gone after the surgery but also know that there could be another plan for me. Asking for peace of mind whatever happens.
Love.
