ISAIAH 61:1-4

ISAIAH 61:1-4


The Spirit of the Lord is upon me and has anointed me to
Preach the good news to the poor. .
Bind up the brokenhearted,
Proclaim freedom for the captives,
Proclaim release from darkness for the prisoners,
Comfort all who mourn
Provide for those who grieve in Zion to bestow on them
BEAUTY FOR ASHES
The oil of gladness for mourning
And a garment of praise for a spirit of heaviness

Improvements
I'm really on the last set of chemotherapy treatments. That is very exciting. I commented to Rob the other day that I'm not feeling as bad as the first set in this series when I had expected to feel continuously worse. Rob always has interesting insight. He suggested that since I had felt so much better after the month long hiatus following the allergic reaction, that the first one hit hard. Now, there isn't so much difference each time. So, I guess going from good to fairly bad is more noticeable than from fairly bad to slightly worse!! Whatever!

Yesterday I did manage to ride my bike for four blocks. (That's circling one block!) I was much shakier than I expected when I started, but I got the hang of it. (What is it they say about never forgetting how to ride a bike?) But the four blocks was my limit. I had muscle fatigue by then. But it's been 18 months, 3 surgeries, and 8 months of chemotherapy since I've been on a bicycle, so I suppose that isn't too shabby for a first try!

Happy Spring!
