~Mind-full~

So, today I am humming along through my day...not literally humming but going about my business...I finished my town errands...I guess I was kind of chit-chatty with the bank teller but I didn't really feel like being...I was in that mood to just want to get the transactions over with and go about my day...then onto the grocery store.

I most always see someone I know in the store...it happens often in small towns...so yes, as I was checking out, someone I knew came up behind me in line and we carried on a little conversation...I told him I had cancer and we weren't sure just where or what it was yet. He expressed his concerns and we both went on our way.

During the day my mind simply felt "happy-go-lucky"...or those of you who know me well know that I have often likened my mind to that of a flitty butterfly...so that is more like what it was...just sort of flitty and fluttering around not really landing on any particular thought for the day.

I sort of took a pause in the day. I realized that my mind was flitty...sure...but it was more like it was smiling...I suppose a mind can smile. My mind was like a happy cloud of hope. I had HOPE! I laughed out loud at this recognition.

Words God gave me a few weeks ago...Trust and Hope...were actually being lived out. I had a happy hope-filled mind. It honestly felt like it was dancing...I'll give it that...it was doing a hope dance. Yes, as you can imagine I am laughing inside myself right now as I write this.

I really still know nothing and won't until February 6th. That is when I should find out what it is I am dealing with.

For now, I will let HOPE dance in my head...it's a pretty spiffy feeling and a light-hearted dance.Yep, the hope dance!
