The day before an oncologist visit is always a trying time! Worry that I won't ask the right questions, or he won't order the correct tests, that something, some evil, bad cell, will be overlooked and left to grow. I am on edge all day.

For many of my entries in this project I am going with whatever I find interesting to take a photo of and then accessing the emotions I can tie into it. But today, my emotion was nervousness, and I had to try to depict it. Once I came up with the idea I had to find a broken piece of glass and figure out how to take my own foot with it. I finally remembered that there were a few beer bottles in the recycling container, then had to figure how to break one without it scattering everywhere, lol. I put it in a box from a coffee bean grinder and beat it on the garage floor, and believe it or not it was harder to break than I thought it would be. So next I hit the box on a hammer - that worked. Now to find a poking up shard, yeah, good luck. But I managed.
Oh, and I thought about going and cleaning my feet and painting my nails, but I thought a messy foot would be better. . .
You are such an inspiring lady, Lisa...dirty feet, unpainted toenails and all!! I would bet that all of the thought and finds going into this post actually helped get out a little bit of that nervousness throughout the day. It is so hard for us, the frail beings we are, not to worry, not to be anxious...even though we know that there really is no place for it in our lives. Lord, fill us up with Your purity, Your surety and Trust to know that Your Words are a promise for us...."For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future."

I went looking for it just now once I realized I hadn't seen it for a couple of days. So sorry. Anyhoo....I'm off to read your next post and cross my fingers all went well at the doc's office.
