A Quiet Sunday Morning - Coffee and Yarn

It's a beautiful day.  It's gray and overcast, cool and damp.  But it's a beautiful day just the same.  I am sitting here with my iced coffee (from Dunkin Donuts, naturally) and I'm going to jot a quick update before I pick up my yarn and  hook for a while.  I haven't been able to crochet as much as I would like to.  My online course is going well.  I have officially changed my major from Liberal Arts - General Interest to one that is Psychology oriented.  I am enjoying the class, even though it is severely cutting into my crochet time!  LOL!  I have a job interview scheduled for Monday morning.  Whether I get the job or not, it's okay.  I've learned that all is in God's Hands and He has a plan for me.  I will do my best in the interview but I won't be crushed if it doesn't work out. Hope you are all enjoying your morning too!

A Most Amazing Woman

I want to tell you about someone very special.  I didn't know her extremely well, and I only met her a few times.  She is my daughter-in-law's beloved aunt, and she passed away on October 1, 2013. Suzanne was  diagnosed with breast cancer almost 7 years ago.  She faced round after round of chemotherapy (18 in all, I understand) and numerous radiation sessions as well.  I only met her a few years ago, after her diagnosis.  Her determination to beat the cancer was impressive.  The people around her supported her and she was something different to each person.  She was a warrior, even though she didn't belong to any branch of the military.  She was a teacher, without a degree in education.  She was a hero, but she didn't belong to a fire or police department.  She was determined that she would beat the cancer, not the other way around.  She astounded doctors with her strength and resilience. I am one of the people she taught, though I was not a student in a class.  She
