Flood of emotions...

Last night I made my first trip back to the floor I was on as a patient in the Huntsman Cancer Hosptial. It has been almost eighteen months since I was a patient there and I experienced a flood of emotions I didn't expect; these emotions were so strong I was brought to tears.

When asked what I felt, it was difficult to put into words. I was asked if I was scared? No; that was not even an emotion I felt the morning I went in for surgery. I learned when Amy was on her mission to New York that if I was afraid, I did not have faith. Knowing the Lord knows best, I trusted in Him completely.

I felt overwhelming gratitude that I am cancer free, humility that the Lord watched over me, comforted me and wrapped me in his protective arms. I felt a little helplessness, knowing my life here on earth was in the hands of the Dr. and nurses. I was watched over by my Savior...so I knew that whatever happened, I'd be okay. I felt gratitude for my family and friends who supported me and prayed for me; EVERY prayer was heard and answered.

I am deeply grateful.

A thought...

I don't believe in micromanaging...it dulls the soul, takes away the spirit of teamwork and kills morale.

Teach them correct principles and let them govern themselves. Joseph Smith, Jr.

Never tell people how to do things. Tell them what to do and they will surprise you with their ingenuity. General George S. Patton, Jr.
