This is still my path.

It's not very often I even look at all the stuff passed on to me on the Internet. Oh, I try to take a quick glance here and there so I don't miss one or two of the real funny things, but in general, there are just too many of them. Now along comes one that I just have to pass on. I think it makes great sense and best reflects just what I am trying to be all about during my battle.

Attitude 2007

There once was a woman who woke up one morning, looked in the mirror,and noticed she had only three hairs on her head.Well," she said, "I think I'll braid my hair today?" So she did and she had a wonderful day.

The next day she woke up, looked in the mirror and saw that she had only two hairs on her head. "Hmmm," she said, "I think I'll part my hair down the middle today?" So she did and she had a grand day.

The next day she woke up, looked in the mirror and noticed that she had only one hair on her head. "Well," she said, "today I'm going to wear my hair in a pony tail." So she did and she had a fun, fun day.

The next day she woke up, looked in the mirror and noticed that there wasn't a single hair on her head. "YEA!" she exclaimed, "I don't have to fix my hair today!"

Attitude is everything.

Be kinder than necessary, for everyone you meet is fighting some kind of battle.

Live simply,
Love generously,
Care deeply,
Speak kindly.......

I believe in this, I always have. I just never tried to write it down like this. Monday starts round 4 of my Chemo. I have some new pains but they are manageable. I have my niece, Cathy and her family here visiting, she too is manageable. Of course I'm kidding, just trying to tickle her funny bone. Skiing with the exchange kids this weekend too, and I know that will be a sure boost for me. So Monday will come fast and then maybe I'll wake up with only 3 strands of hair! You are all loved, God bless you all.

Hello there!

It's funny that I should read this entry today as I am writing to leave you the name of a song I heard the other day on KLOVE radio that made me think of the outlook and attitude you posses and have displayed throughout this ordeal. The name of the song is "How Could I Ask For More" by Cindy Morgan. You should listen to it because the words just seem to match your outlook on life. I hope you are doing well on your first day of round 4. You are in my daily thoughts and prayers!
