Had a great day out....

HI

Just thought I would tell you all of the fantastic day I had today with my lovely husband.

6 days after chemo, and feeling very sorry for myself, my lovely husband decided to surprise me with a day out.

He also surprised me, with a new motor bike jacket he had purchased quietly for me. And then told me that we were going out for a ride on the motor bike to Canungra for a coffee and lunch.

The day was beautiful, having the wind and sunshine on my face was a delight. Smelling the fresh air, freshly cut grass, and cow shit (haha) also smelt lovely. The bumps from the bitumen as we rode felt great also.

The day made me feel "normal" again for a change. I couldn't have asked for anything more.

I had a smile on my face and on the inside. Thinking how lucky I am today. Happy... being alive and being outside and making the most of this beautiful day.

I hope you all had a great day today. And wishing you all well.

Love as always Julie XX

    How wonderful are these people that watch and hover behind us waiting to help us with anything we need, even when we dont realise we need it.

    Just to venture into Garden City on some days defeats me.  But to then venture into Smiggles is a great effort.  The time out is always worth it though I think.  I hope the fish were keepers and tasty.

    Good on you, Julie.  Sometimes the effort to get out the door is huge, but a little bit of fresh air and sunshine are like magic, aren't they? :)

    Hi Julie

    Lovely to hear about your day out...

    Day 4 past FEC and I 'sent/allowed/encouraged??'  hubby out fishing for the day.. he actually caught a few fish which made the day worthwhile. Meanwhile Adam (my wonderful 8 year old son) and I had breakfast at Garden City then went shopping at 'Smiggles'. I came home exhausted ... Adam sent me to bed for a rest then entertained himself till daddy came home.

    We are so lucky to have such loving, supportive families...

    Hi Lara'

    Its just so hard sometimes, but  you just keep smiling.

    Yes our hubbies, are knights in shining armour. They just step up to the plate sometimes, and make us feel "normal".

    You will have great days to, I know it.

    Love Julie XX
