everyday is a journey.
Grave on thy heart each past "red-letter day"!
Forget not all the sunshine of the way
By which the Lord hath led thee; answered prayers,
And joys unasked, strange blessings, lifted cares,
Grand promise-echoes! Thus thy life shall be
One record of His love and faithfulness to thee.

I often see a question and answer sort of game on social media that many of us love to participate in. Although they are very popular, I don't join in. I found the above list and just for the heck of it, decided to answer them. I found myself answering each one based on one event in my life in 2016.
Almost to every question, except one, I've answered radiation. That time really was a pivotal moment in my life in both good ways and bad.
1. What went well this past year? My treatment went well, much better than what I anticipated.
2. What did not go well? My reaction to radiation or I should say the side effects.
3. What do I want to do the same this year? Stay in remission!
4. What do I want to do differently? Not have the cancer come back and to avoid radiation.
5. When did I feel most in my sweet spot? When radiation was all over and remission set in.
6. When did I feel the most drained and exhausted? When I went back to work and still had radiation every morning. I would get up at 5 or 5:30 am, go to radiation and head out to work afterwards.
7.What did I say yes to that I wish I said no to? Radiation, I'm still not convinced that it was worth all that ordeal.
8. What did I say no to that I wish I said yes to? I regret going back to work. In the end, it wasn't a smart idea, because I felt exhausted.
9. What helped me stay close to God this past year? The fact that I need Him, especially when I'm in treatment.
10. What did He teach me that I want to live out this year? Compassion.
And there you have it, folks. I answered them.
Have a Blessed day everyone.
