So here I was with this new blog, feeling all dressed up with no where to go. How should I start and what should I say first? After all, this is my second take and I'm gonna make me over! Second chances. I can do anything. And then suddenly my life changed. My life is changing before my very own eyes because my dad has stomach cancer and my aunt was told the tumors in her breasts are back and she will be needing a double mastectomy. These are two of the elders in our family. My dad will be 78 and my aunt will be 81, both in June. We have gone year after year in our family without experiencing any major illnesses, accidents or loss of a loved one. We celebrate God's grace daily for our continued good health. When a loved one is given this type of report from a doctor it changes the possibilities and probabilities for their family members. With that said, I realized my first transformation must be a deliberate focus on preventive health measures. I must get a mammogram. I must get a colonoscopy. I must go to the dentist. I must get a complete physical. I must continue exercising. I must continue eating the right foods. I must continue using safer products in my home. Take Two - Make Me Over into consciously thinking about how to stay healthy.

That's a nice picture of Daddy. What a serious wake up call this is. It makes me feel like bracing myself for what may lie ahead. I'm happy to have you.
