Decided to try a mohawk last night!

The back is so curly!

Look at all that crazy gray hair!
I just wanted to show you all the new hair I've gotten in the last month. It's coming back in very gray and curly. Maybe I will keep it a little shorter, once it grows out completely.

My CTCA health care team contacted me this week. I won't need to return to the hospital until September.

Now my journey of healing really begins. I'm putting cancer behind me, and no looking in the rear view mirror!

You look cute! My hair came in curly especially in the back, too...and then it went back to being straight after I cut my hair. :( Congrats for a summer with no trips to CTCA!

Thanks, Ginny Marie! I don't know what will happen when my hair gets longer, but I'm enjoying what it is for now. Cancer teaches you that. Enjoy the place where you are. I would love to pick your brain sometime about what you learned.

You look very lovely in your curly gray hair, Carol = )

My "new" gray hairs are coarser and curlier than my "old" brown hairs. Makes for some "crazy" hair days!!!!

Deb, thanks for commenting! My gray hair was coarse, at first. I gave up on combing and styling and trying to flatten it down. I just let it go where it wanted. Since it has grown back in, it is soft and still curly, but not coarse at all. God is blessing in all kinds of ways!

Meet Your Neighbor

Note: I wrote this article several months ago for another publication. Although he was born and raised in a small town in New England, Grant Williams has come home to Arkansas City. The admitted baseball fanatic is a devoted husband to the lovely Bernice and father to four grown children, stepfather to three. Williams has traveled the world and worked a multitude of jobs only to settle here after retirement to live the thoughtful life of a poet and author. He speaks humbly of his work, listens closely and watches life unfold around him. And then, he writes. Every day. A large portion of Grant’s poems are about love, particularly his devotion to his wife, but he has penned volumes about sports, family, children, issues and our town. Williams seems to absorb emotion from life and the activity around him, and then processes it into meaningful tomes. “I love to write because I love to read,” the author muses. “Once you have something in print, you have to say, ‘I’m an author.’ You have to

Summer of Simplicity: Lift Someone Up

Image
  Hebrews 10:23-24 (KJV) Let us hold fast the profession of our faith without wavering; (for he is faithful that promised;) And let us consider one another to provoke unto love and to good works: In a hurry today? Me, too. With an endless To Do list, I don't know how I'll get it all done. If you're facing this kind of day, week or month, let me suggest something...helping others. When you're lifting someone up, shouldering their burdens, being the hands and feet of Christ, you are fulfilling God's commandments. He is so pleased with your service, our Heavenly Father will send others to lighten your load and may even reorganize your priorities. Life can be exhausting, and there are those who would spend all their time tearing others down, instead of laying a foundation of love. As you encourage those you meet, our Savior will send encouragers in your direction. Slow down and look around. Someone needs a hand up. God's time is unhurried. Why not try

Bravely Onward

The day I started work at Rainbows United, I took the exit ramp onto K96 and encountered this billboard. Somehow, I felt that God had placed it there just for me. I know that Fidelity Bank in Wichita has a publicity campaign that encourages business owners and citizens to fight back against the perilous economic times we are facing. Our business had closed three months before, and I really needed a job. The billing specialist position at RUI came as a complete surprise. I knew their reputation and jumped in with both feet. Still, I was nervous. Could I do it? Was I strong enough? The billboard is still there, and I ask myself the same question every morning. What will I do? *** Notable Quote: "To go back is nothing but death; to go forward is fear of death, and life everlasting beyond it. I will yet go forward."--John Bunyan
