The Power of Dreams

Here are two photos taken on Cape Cod this month. I was jubilant to be there, but had not doubted that I would make it. All winter long as I underwent chemotherapy treatment for breast cancer, I dreamed about walking on the beach. At work I put up a Cape Cod calendar and used a morning beach scene as my computer wallpaper. I would look at the beach picture and feel being there, feel the glory of a June morning beach walk.

Surgery was in April. I said, “I have to be recovered enough that I can drive to the Cape in early June and walk on the beach.” Well, I was recovered. And to add to the blessings, tests showed I am cancer free!

Now I have to go through radiation treatment, but I am dreaming about September walks on the beach!
