Scenery therapy

Last year this time I completed rounds of chemo.  I was so sick, I could barely drive.  Today I drove 3 hours to my dad's house and it was awesome.  Last October I could barely drive 30 min and now, one year later, I can drive 3 hours and with passion I drove.  That's the thing about Arizona.  The scenery to me is breath taking.  I can drive forever and enjoy everything God created.  The mountains are so rugged and free of trees.   I pulled over and took a few photos.  Hoping to catch the memory so I never forget it.

I arrived at dad's and everyone was there.  It was so nice to see Dad, Karen, Tammy, Jenna, Morgan, Cheyenne, Colleen, Aunt Nooch and Uncle Joe.  I tried to take some photos so again, I could savor the memory.  We had a nice time.  I enjoyed being with them.  I think Dad really liked seeing me and everyone said I looked really good.  When I think about it, I feel like I do look good and I feel like I'm getting stronger and stronger.  I know I say that over and over but it's a very powerful feeling.  Especially when I was at my lowest last year.  And I never want to go back to that ever again.
