The picture above is part of the decor in my scrapbook room. After listening to my church's General Relief Society Conference in September, I will always remember President Uchtdorf's talk on creation. (Here is a link to his talk: It is one of my favorites! Happiness, Your Heritage ) There is a part of me that is so acutely aware that the time I have is limited. I love to scrapbook, and I have literally thousands of pictures that I have taken over the years. I usually scrapbook in the middle of the night when I can't sleep because of pain, worry, or just plain sleeplessness. It gives me something productive to do rather than just watching TV or movies, plus I just love reliving the memories. I spend a lot more time on journaling about the events than before I had cancer. That way, the my husband and kids will always have my thoughts and memories on things we have done together, or seen, or holidays etc.

Dearest Amber: Thank you so much for your blog. Without it I would not have found President Dieter Uchtdprf''s wonderful message. I have so much to be thankful for and yet think everyone would be better off without me. The Lord has something in mind for me. This is the second time I've cheated death and I had better not waste my opportunities.
