August began in anticipation of a new life in the form of a baby boy . Little did we know that he would make us wait until nearly at month's end . Kai came into this world on his terms , not ours .
August held many births and beginnings . I joined a Chronic Illness Support Group . Emily went from Register Girl to teacher in Sunday School , a Greeter and Resource Center desk volunteer . A crocheting club was formed and a blog revived .
August held a surprise or two , with my chemo treatments being extended once again and my boss complimenting me on a job well done . The latter more of a shocker than surprise .
August was a slow month at work with two company shutdown days . We haven't had any of those in two years . There were many a long , boring , slow nights at work .
August was a month of organizations and lists . A schedule was made and so far maintained , to fit our busy lifestyle . Slow at work / busy at home . The minor vehicle repair checklist was completed . Closets were cleaned out and room was made for new outfits . Care packages were made and sent out to Poland .
August was a month filled with Church activities . There were three prayer walks , a volunteer appreciation BBQ , a potluck dinner , a two day spiritual gift class , Awanna training , a volunteer expo and Sunday School training /meeting .
August also held sad moments like when my friend / mentor came visiting from Texas and we couldn't get together due to a busy schedule on both sides . There were health issues with Linda not feeling well at all this month . The third cancer musketeer , Doug , had a blood clot in his leg .
August had a lot of ups and downs , but I'm looking forward to September and the cooler air .
Have a Blessed day everyone .
