ReplyDeleteMimi
THREE HUGS!!! Congratulations!
ReplyDeleteYou always look beautiful, my friend and yes, sometimes you will be emotional, which is to be expected. Did you know that tears are healing? They cleanse our souls, so don't despair, my friend. You're doing great. Keep up the good work.
Hope you had a lovely President's Day. We had our first official Family Day in Ontario. I do hope that many families got to spend the day together.
Love you. Praying for you, Rich and Nichole, as always.
Blessings,
Mary
Deena
ReplyDeleteI like your attitude. Be positive as much as you can. I know it's hard. In the beginning I cried almost daily. I think that's pretty natural. Mine always happened around 5PM each day. But it ended and I moved on. The bible tells us our words are powerful so be sure to think, feel and speak postively. I don't know if you've seen this on my blog, but on the top of my sidebar I have my mantra. "I am a person who breast cancer was a part of my history...NOT a part of my future!"
Do everything the doctor tells you, take care of yourself, rest and stay positive. Before you know it, your chemo and radiation will be behind you. I'm praying for you.
Hugs sweet friend!
Kat
Every poke, jab, needle, sickness, worry, fright and panic you may or may not feel is worth every little hug from that sweet little boy.
ReplyDeleteMore hugs and prayers coming your way from my end of the world!
Hi Deena, you look darling! Spending time with my friend Kathy this weekend made me realize again how big GOD is.....It's ok to cry and let it out, but remember we are all here for you.
ReplyDeleteHugs,
LeAnn :)

Deena...... You cry girl,,,,,,,God keeps those tears in a little bottle ....Do not forget that.......
ReplyDeletePsa 56:8 Thou tellest my wanderings: put thou my tears into thy bottle: [are they] not in thy book? He is asking,, you save my tears .. and are you keeping record of them in your book?
Yeah!!!!!! He is saving those tears.. He knows the meaning of each of them.....and THEN!!!!
Rev 21:4 And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away.
AMEN
I forgot......
ReplyDelete1. I got to work with my son all afternoon.. that made me happy..

You look sooooo good, Deena! When I was going through chemo, I found strength by going over scriptures and old hymns in my mind. Somehow, God carried me though.
ReplyDeleteI was teaching school at the time and I remember telling my colleagues that I felt like I was being carried.
God's Word says that He will never leave us nor forsake us. I know that you are finding comfort in Him. He understands your tears.
When I lay my head on the pillow at night, I pray for you. Many other bloggers are praying for you. You are so blessed, dear friend!
Sometimes we get a little rain right alongside the sunshine. It seems you had a little of both today.
ReplyDeleteI got to see my daughter, SIL and little granddaughter for three days straight.
My husband's and daughter's birthday was today and we celebrated just being together.
I got to do art today.
My piano student cancelled.
My prayers are with you. I love your blog.
ReplyDeleteGood Evening Deena,
ReplyDelete"PRAISE GOD" you got a good report from Dr. Jones. Of course, GOD is healing you. I know that had to be a good feeling for your doctor to give you 3 hugs. You don't see doctor's doing that kind of thing anymore. You look absolutely beautiful upon returning from the doctor's visit.
Things I'm happy for right now:
1. Jesus dying on the cross to save me from my sins.
2. Having you as a friend.
3. Having a great weekend with my hubby.
4. Finally being able to re-do my blog. LOL.
5. Our oldest daughter is much better and was able to go back to School today.
I have so many things to be happy about, but I only listed a few. It's good that you cried because crying is good for the soul. It also makes you feel better too. Take care my friend and have a great evening. May God Bless You and Yours.
Love, Hugs, & Prayers,
Karen H.
P.S. I love your new header also.
Hi sweetie!
ReplyDeleteFirst of all, Doogs sends his love and I gave him a hug from you, several times infact. You would just love the little fella. He sure brings smiles to people's faces.
You look so wonderful! If I didn't know it, I would never think you are fighting cancer. See, it is all about the attitude. You WILL beat it! I just know it!
Have a lovely week, Deena! We are here for you!
xo
Becky and Doogs
Denna, you look great!
ReplyDeleteDearest Deena, 3 hugs from your lovely Dr. Jones! No wonder though as you look so cute! Stay well dearest girl, my prayers are with you as always, love and hugs, Suzanne.
ReplyDeleteKeeping you in my prayers, Deena
ReplyDeleteYou look so great. I hope you get lots of rest tonight. Thinking of you.
ReplyDeleteMy sincere prayer is that you get healed Deena. I pray the chemo/radiation works for you my friend.
ReplyDeleteYou look so pretty in these pictures. I am glad that you you got some hugs and encouragement from Dr. Jones.
God bless you,
Sharon
Sounds as if things are looking good and your photo sure looks good! :~)
ReplyDeleteJust keep that smile going.....I'm still praying for you along with so many others.
Joyce
Glad to hear that the visit went well. Keep praying!
ReplyDeleteDeena, I just love your pictures. You look terrific without makeup and that smile is contagious. Cry all you want---I did it today at my drs. office. I too have some wonderful drs who take good care of me and they are all Christians. I even went to visit my favorite nurse Mona,and got a lot of hugs from her. She was there for me through 10 of my surgeries, so I am working on a Pay it Forward for the nurses in 3 West. God Bless you sweet Deena, Love Ya, Pat
ReplyDeleteps, I only have 1 committement so far---they don't know what they will be missing-lol.
Oh sweetie, if you had to shed tears, I hope you felt refreshed afterward. Cleansing tears can be a relief at times. Follow what is in your heart sometimes and try not to always be what you think that others around you need for you to be. It is a lot of work, hiding it all. When we are weak He is strong, right? I wish I looked cute in my jeans...sigh. Well, maybe in a few months! Jennifer
ReplyDeleteWhat an inspiration you are, Deena. So very glad your dr. appt. went well today! Is he a young good looking one? Just wondering about the 3 hugs!! TeeHee
ReplyDeleteYou look might pretty with no makeup! I'd never pose without mine.
Will continue praying for you daily, sweet friend!
Big Hugs,
Stephanie

Hi Deena...3 hugs! Wow..lucky gal...
ReplyDeleteYou looks so pretty..I hope you're doing okay..I know you are..you are strong.
My joys today were cleaning the garage...packing up the car for a Goodwill run tomorrow and watching a GUY FLICK with my Hubby...(a movie about hockey)..I figured its the least I could do after he sat and watched Becoming Jane with me yesterday!
Love,
Robin
Deena you are looking really good.
ReplyDeleteWow 3 hugs!!! Lucky you!!
Thinking of you.
Take care.
Alison
Good Morning Deena,
ReplyDeleteI hope that you have had a good night's rest and feeling fairly good this morning. I just wanted to let you know that when you felt like it and had time, drop by. I have a couple of things for you on my today's post. I haven't been asleep all night. I was sleepy when I went to bed, but just couldn't sleep. I am having my morning coffee now and out visiting a bit. Take care my friend and have a great day. May God Bless You and Yours.
Love, Hugs, & Prayers,
Karen H.
You're in my prayers dear Deena.
ReplyDeleteYou look beautiful in your photos.
Hugs.
Sarah x
You DO look cute! I'm glad your visit went well.
ReplyDeleteI think I'd be scared of a 3D picture of my body. They don't put them up on the wall the way they do with babies at the pediatrician's office, do they? :)
You look gorgeous and sound joyful!
ReplyDeleteCourage is fear that has said its prayers. ~Dorothy Bernard

ReplyDeleteYou are a blessing and an inspiration to so many people.
Hugs to you!
I look in often Deena to see how you are getting on. Your hair is looking fab, keep with that style, it really suits you. x
ReplyDeleteYou look GORGEOUS!!!
ReplyDeleteWe are continuing our prayers for you, Deena.
Much Love... *Linda*
