What I Plan for Fun

When I first found I had breast cancer, I read in several places that it is important to have fun, and schedule some small goals during treatment. Tomorrow, is my first "fun" goal. I am having my picture made (with wig, hats, and bald) with my three Maltese.

Since becoming a Mommy, I have put my three fur-friends much to the background, so I am looking forward to this (I have already done Mommy-daughter pictures). To make it more fun, the original idea was to dye the three pooches breast-cancer pink. My groomer, who is wonderful in more ways than one, had to burst by bubble about that. She says the dye really does not come out. Since she has been slaving away at our pets' coats for about 2 years now, I figured I ought to honor her denial with grace, which I did. To compensate, she is going to find a big pink bow for our little female, paint her toenails pink, and accompany me to the sitting. In the meantime, I have gathered various props...pink flower petals, bandana's, make-shift pink bow-ties for the boys. And, when I spoke with my photographer, she--who is also a breast cancer survivor--got on board with the fun, and offered to change the puppies pink digitally. Who knows the final outcome of the day, but I think we will have a fun time.

The second fun goal is attending a family reunion in the Denton area. With God's grace, my sister-n-law will be there, along with lots of little cousins for the girls. It will be an off week for my treatment, so I should be in good shape. Fun stuff. Thanks, Lord, for Your creation of humor and fun!
