Bright Spot


Words cannot express how grateful I am for each one of you that left me such heartfelt thoughts, prayers and encouragement.  Yes, it's me blogging today.  I am feeling really good and have much more strength than I thought I would at this point.
I know it is because of all of you, my friends and family.  

Thank you so much!  


Each day seems to have some bright spots. 

 My happy-go-lucky charm squares arrived and 
that really brightened my day. 
Bright Spot.
The pre-cuts are in stores, 
but in case you can't seem to find any, I have a few in my shop.


Moda Lissa sent me this Stitch magazine and this add is on the back.  Another bright spot. 
Camille did the beautiful photography. Bright spot.

 My mom brought me these yesterday, bright spot.

This blog post would be really long if I listed all the bright spots, so I won't, but I feel so blessed!

Hope you find a bright spot in your day,
and thanks again,
Bonnie

    Bonnie, so good to see you posting and I'm really happy you shared a few of your "bright spots" with us. I know there are many more than you could have shared because you are looking for them and that makes them doubly bright. Keeping you in prayer with so many good thoughts! Gentle hugs, and God Bless and Keep...

    So happy to hear everything went well. I think your positive attitude helps a lot (and M&M peanuts don't hurt either). Been thinking about you every night when I do my prayer list, so positive thoughts and blessings are always headed your way. Keep smiling, you are such an inspiration.

    I am way behind reading my blogs. I am so sorry to hear of your diagnosis. My sister and Grandmother both have had Breast cancer. And as of yesterdays Diagnositic Digital Mamogram & Ultrasounds for the new lump in additon to the lump they were watching. I am now faceing excisional biopsys next week. As I couldn't do it until then due toimportant appointments allready scheduled for my special needs son. So needless to say my head is not in a good place today. I am glad that you are getting lots of support. You really need a great support network while undergoing Cancer and all involved with its treatments. I will keep you in my thoughts and parayers.

    I'm happy to read that you're feeling really good. Though I think it would be hard not to feel pretty good with all those "bright spots" - and here's hoping this is just the beginning for those. M&Ms and daffodils... good for Mom!

    Take good care!

    I'm just finding out about your diagnosis. I'm comfortable with the fact that you will be fine. A lot of how we do medically is how we are mentally and emotionally and the support we have. You are aces on all counts! Take care, rest and keep us posted.
