Just a Great Sabbath Day

I love that the Lord taught us the importance of making holy one day per week.  Regardless of the day--be it Friday, Saturday, or Sunday--having a holy day of prayer and worship can be such a spiritually nurturing experience.

I love the Sabbath Day.  Today was no exception.

I kicked it off with my MoTab Music and the Spoken Word at 9:30am, followed by the one I recorded last week that I was too sick to watch.  I felt great, and it felt awesome. As I got ready for church with my favorite band blaring throughout the house, I think I noticed my hair starting to fall out.  I'm not 100% sure, but I think something a little suspicious was going on. 

Ugh.  Please, not yet. Please, not ever.

Church was perfect.  But I've always been a church lover so that wasn't surprising.  The sacrament bread tasted super salty. That was a surprise. I've had a heightened sensitivity to salt lately and probably shouldn't have been surprised, but I was.

Primary is practicing for their 27 September Children's Program so it was so nice to just sit in the chapel with my most sweet, fabulous, and wonderful class.  I love them so much.

I had a lovely afternoon of visits and visitors with no pain and no nausea.  My stamina is embarrassingly low and, if I am going to feel better this coming week,  I need to push myself more to build strength for all that lies ahead.

My spirits are good.  I am eating good and healthy food.  I feel much better than I did a week ago.

I am grateful and take none of this for granted.  Thank you for every single prayer.

  1. Horray for a great sabbath day. Isn't it the best?! Crazy that your hair is feeling the effects so fast. I guess that's probably normal. Love that kid holding his hands over his ears.

  6. Michelle thank you for all you taught me in seminary and while I was on seminary council. You truly left a mark in my life and I know how hard facing the unknown of losing life can be. Some of the things I have learned in seminary got me through losing my daughter. You will be blessed in your trial of faith and will continue to touch others lives. I wish you the best in your recovery Angela Jacobsen Ferguson

  9. michelle, the one thing you can still taste is salt. its true that all food has no taste at this point, but salt is not one of them. I have some super cute wigs just sitting here if you want me to send them. I ordered them before I had chemo cuz I knew I would need them. so I have I think 3 they are short like my hair, blond, but if you have a chapter of the cancer society there,they give them to you free. they have hats,scarves, wigs. let me know glad to send them if you want. glad your feeling better. create your days.
