Overwhelmed with grace and thanks.



I went to a scrapbooking convention last week. Yes, I really did.

I didn't learn much - INSPIRED is where I learn the new stuff, looks like.



But I did meet some interesting people, and I did get exposed to some interesting techniques - well, about three - that I didn't think of before. And I did buy stuff. Stacks of stuff.


I don't think I will need anything but adhesive and ink for the next 10 months. Seriously.



And while I was there, I talked to Melissa Frances. She is a breast cancer survivor (you can read her story here), and she said that once you have chemotherapy and all your hair falls out, you take a new look at many things in your life. Once your hair grows back, though, you will never complain about a bad hair day again.

So I withdraw my hair complaints. I thank heaven again and again for all the goodness and grace in my life. And so, in honor of Melissa Frances, and my honest friend Maggie, and myself, I am making my mammogram appointment today.
