Venita found this story on the Internet recently, written by a woman who is now surviving breast cancer. What an incredible talent this woman has for expressing emotion in her writing. "It pained me to see Mom twist herself into a pretzel trying to please Grandmother, only to be dashed upon the jagged rocks of Grandmother's beachfront." How powerful is that?
This woman's story is very different from Venita's story. Venita has long experience with using power equipment. Also, it's been a very long time since Venita has had someone beat her down the way this woman recently has been beat down.
But, Venita is concerned she won't have the physical strength to start the mower this year, or the weed eater, or the leaf blower.
This story gave Venita hope that she can overcome, not only her breast cancer but also her fear of being able to start her power equipment--at least the ones she's always been able to start. She often has had to ask the neighbor to start her chain saw.
