Get Excited!

I know so many people who are always so negative and down on themselves. Don't let yourself be one of those people! You'll never achieve anything if you don't have the right mindset and are constantly bashing yourself.


"I'm too old", "I could never do that", "I'll never look like that", "I'm not strong enough", "I just don't have time", "What's the point?" Don't let your life be controlled by negative thoughts like these!!


Get excited about your life and what your future has to offer! Don't set limitations for yourself, and don't be controlled by your fears. If you want something, go for it. STOP doubting yourself.  Set a goal, have a plan and commit to it. You may fail at some things, but that doesn't mean you give up!  


I'm not just saying this to anyone who's reading this blog, I'm writing these things for MYSELF as well. I will admit that I am the type of person who fears change, who is sometimes afraid to try to new things that I may not be good at, and who doubts myself at times.


But lately for some reason, I've just been so motivated and excited about what I can achieve and how many new things I can try and accomplish in my future. 


There are things I'd like to do and have thought in the past, "I could never do that"-but I'm NOT going to think like that anymore!  I'm not ever going to  rule out the possibility of me being able to do anything. I know that if I set my mind to something, I will achieve it. It may take months, it may take YEARS, but I will do it.


Give yourself more credit. Believe in yourself. Have confidence. Know that you are strong, and that there is nothing holding you back from your dreams but YOU.

People always said That time would heal the pain But how can that be When mine still remains? The tears still fall At just the thought of you So I know that what they say Just can't be true As the years go by I miss you so much still  No matter how much time passes I know I always will How are you not here To ease my hurting heart? Never could I have imagined We would ever be apart My world has been shattered A piece of me is gone And all I can do is pray For strength to live on I know that one day soon I will see you again I just have to try to suffer through And make it until then

Putting My Heart Out There

Hey guys. Here's where we're at right now: Matt finished his radiation treatments last week. Did they help? I don't know. He's sleeping a lot more. Having trouble chewing and swallowing. Not eating much. Not talking much, at least not in full sentences. It's just been a slow, steady decline for the last few months. I think it was really too late for radiation....But who knows, maybe it is delaying things. We went in last Tuesday for his infusion and talked with his neuro-oncologist about everything that we've been seeing with Matt, and he decided that we're at the point now where we should discontinue treatments...I feel like it's the right decision, even though it breaks my heart knowing that there is nothing else we can do. But I feel like we've done everything. All the supplements, the diet, the chemo, the radiation... Matt has fought hard. He never gave up hope. He kept the faith. He never complained through any of this. Not once did I hea...

One Year...

One year ago today... the day it all changed. It was a Tuesday. I got the call from Matt around 3:00. I remember I was sitting at the computer at home. Matt told me that he was at the hospital, and that Bob Scott, his boss, had driven him there. Then he said those 4 words I never expected to hear: “The tumor came back.”  My heart stopped. Matt had gone in that morning for an MRI, as he has done numerous times in the past 10 years. He was now at the point where he had an MRI just yearly now, and that one was done in February, which showed that everything was fine. There was no sign of tumor growth, which had been the case for the last 10 years, praise God. But because Matt had been having some seizure activity for the last few months, they suggested he go in for another MRI in July. We then decided we should move up the appointment, because he had been having a headache every day for the past week. Good thing we did.... After I hung up with Matt,  I immediately brok...
