Tonight's picture was taken in October of 2007. I will be posting a series of photos this month of Mattie going to all sorts of Fall Festivals. At each festival, Mattie always came home with a pumpkin and other goodies in hand. As you can see at this particular festival, Mattie was intrigued by the orange VW bug and posed for a photo in front of it. There was no telling what would be featured at each festival, which was what made them so entertaining, not to mention Mattie's reaction to each sighting and experience at them!
Quote of the day: The only thing we have to fear is fear itself. ~ Franklin D. Roosevelt
Though FDR's quote was not spoken in the context of illness, it nonetheless could very well apply! When you aren't feeling well, fear can take over very easily and your mind can run wild with all sorts of worries as to what could potentially be wrong with you. Unfortunately in my case, I have all sorts of reasons as to why my mind wanders, I lost Mattie to cancer, and I have seen the unexpected can and does happen! Second of which, after I lost Mattie, I went through my own cancer scare which was monitored for over a year. Now I am dealing with kidney stones and that is bad enough but this weekend, another symptom has arisen and the whole fear that started the cancer scans in 2012 is being called to the table again. So needless to say, FDR's quote speaks volumes to me today. This type of stress, I literally can't handle!
