Something new

For I am about to do something new.

See, I have already begun!  Do you not see it?

Isaiah 43:19

I am not a blogger.  I am not tech savvy.  I am generally a private person.  I am writing this blog in hopes that it will help someone, just as I have been encouraged by the stories of other people on this journey.  I am also told it is good therapy.

Many years ago I was diagnosed with a rare lung disease caused by lupus, called bronchiolitis obliterans.  (I will write more about that later for those of you who like the gory details.)  I was told I had about three years to live, but God had plans for me!  I have been stable for a long time, but for the last nine months my lung function has been declining, and my lungs are not doing a great job of removing carbon dioxide.   Tomorrow morning I begin a week of tests and visits with specialists as the first step in my journey to a lung transplant.  God is doing something new in my life -which is why I chose the scripture from Isaiah.

Today we spent some time enjoying Nashville.  We ate lunch at the Lost Cajun in Hendersonville.  It was delicious!

       They give you a sample of the flavors to help you decide what to order. 

More samples, please.

The best part was the beignets!  By the time we finished there was powdered sugar everywhere!

We got to spend some time with our grand dog, Willie B.  He is a rescue dog and lives (yes, I said lives) to be petted.

So there you have it, my first attempt at blogging.  I will "fancy it up" --- just as soon as I learn how.
