"Life Just Won't Let Up"

This is a slideshow of some of my more recent hiking adventures from before my cancer diagnosis.
I was diagnosed the week after Thanksgiving 2021, with Stage 4 Leptomeningeal disease. That is a cancer that began as breast cancer, that I didn't know I had, and has metastasized to my cerebral spinal fluid and my bones.
I've experienced much difficulty walking since September. I thought I had a backache and was having chiropractic and massage therapy.
I'm currently receiving radiation therapy as well as two chemo therapies via spinal tap.
It's so very scary.
I've never experienced sickness. I don't even know how to "be sick".
I guess I'll learn...
I rarely even get a cold.
This is all new and uncharted territory. But praise Jesus, I know Him as my Lord and Savior, so I know this too, is in His hands.

I'm a photographer, and used to take my camera every where. I never left home without it. Though I'm too shaky to make good photos right now, I believe I will make more in the future.
My photos are always "in the moment". Never structured or even planned.
Excepting the occasional still life photo, my photos are certainly not conceptual. I shoot mostly from hikes or even just pulling over on the side of the road to photograph the landscape before me.
I used to be a wedding photographer, but I've chased the sunset and moonrise for many years, hiking the hills, trails, and beaches, from the East Coast of South Carolina, to the West Coast, where I live in California.
The music is from one of my favorite Christian bands, Tenth Avenue North. It is definitely some good worship music.
The first track, "Worn" is the number one song that got me through the really hard times when my husband of 37 years walked away from our life together in 2009.
It's a sort of a ballad for those times when "Life Just Won't Let Up". The final track is "Lamb of God" a beautiful and inspiring song of worship and praise to our Holy God.
I hope when watching you enjoy the light and landscapes I experienced when making the photos.
Oh, and ladies, get those mammograms!!!
God bless us all!
