So I thought I would share a couple of thoughts I have, sorry no picture to go with it. I had a scare this last couple of weeks with an abnormal mammogram and ultrasound so they decided they needed to do a needle biopsy on Tuesday. Ok, in my mind I knew that this had to be leftover stuff from my reduction surgery last year but it was really hard not to be scared.
I started thinking about my priorities and wondering if I am doing everything I should be doing. Am I the kind of person Heavenly Father wants me to be? What do I need to change? It made me think about what is most important in my life. My family - both immediate and extended; my testimony of the gospel; my friends and being able to give back to others. That pretty much boils it down. Everything else is extra, maybe nice extra, but extra nonetheless. With my family at my side I can get through anything. There isn't much sweeter than cuddling with my grandbaby or watching my sons and their families as they are growing and trying to figure things out, or watching Ali as she gets ready to move on to college and life beyond high school. They are my greatest gifts (challenges too but we're talking about our blessings right now). Jeff is my best friend and is always there for me. I love his quiet example and strong arms when I need them. I couldn't do much without the support of my sisters and all they do for me. They are always there when I need a shoulder.
When the pathology report came back yesterday saying "NO CANCER" I was so relieved. We didn't tell many people but I knew I could if I needed to. I have one of the best support systems I could even imagine and am so thankful for all of you.

I am so relieved for you. There is magic in our family and the support we give to one another. With our combined strength we are much like the Red Woods. Our roots, our foundation intertwined together, make us stronger than we could ever be on our own. I love you sis.. and right back at you all the way.
Renee,
I am so sorry to think that you had to face such a worry. I am thankful to know that you are alright. I completely agree with you that the gospel, our family and friends are so vitally important to us. Health is also a huge blessing. I'm so thankful you don't have to worry about such a scary thing.
Love You
**Wendy
