Distracted . . . For A Moment

QUESTION: How does one dear husband attempt to distract his wife from the thoughts of an uncoming CT Scan?

ANSWER: Take her and her precious blessings to Balboa Island for the afternoon, of course!! Eat a late lunch at Ruby's on the Pier and have a Bal-Bar for a treat to top off a rather "distracted" day!

Yes, that is how we spent the better part of this day . . . trying to be distracted! Spending the day being with those I love most on this planet, at a place I thoroughly enjoy being at, under the protection of our gracious Lord . . . all this equals a recipe for pure joy! There's no denying that my mind has a weakness for wandering, wandering toward thoughts of this "cancer check-up". However, when my focus is upward on Him, all things become just that . . . "things". Cancer is a "thing". It does not define me even though it is an element of my life. It must not be allowed to control my life and steal what the Lord has blessed me with . . . TODAY!

Here are some snaps of those I love most and the "distracted" fun we enjoyed today!
