It’s chemo cheer time again! Clayton thanks so much for leading “Pay It Forward” even though Hilary had to skip the last treatment.
On April 18th Hilary will start her 7th round of chemo and the theme is “Joy.” Lucy Butter is leading and would love for the group to, between now and Thursday am, April 17th, send her their examples of ways they are deliberately choosing joy each day. It could be by setting your intention do so because…… (you are grateful or thankful for something, relieved about something, etc). It could be as a result of something that happens to you during the day—-the gorgeous spring weather, a long walk with a friend, etc. You can send several or only one. And all this done in honor of Hilary, but with the hope that we are all more able to “choose joy” everyday!
“We cannot construct joy. We can only receive it. But joy is not something that “happens to us”. We must choose it every day. We choose it every time we let ourselves be loved; when we forgive and are forgiven; when we hope instead of dread: when we give thanks instead of demanding to know “why”; when we have faith in the One who sees us, who knows us, and who loves us. Why should we consent to mere fleeting, capricious ‘happiness’, when joy only awaits our intentional, loving “yes” to make a home in us? Let’s choose joy!” Sally Robbins
As always, please feel free to pass this along and thank you for participating! It really makes such a huge difference in Hilary’s journey.
