Monday Musings…Actually On A Monday

I’m beginning this week filled with gratitude after a weekend of regaining some of my strength and having a wonderful niece keeping me very entertained with so many favorite photos of Harper and Benny. I’ve had a lot of fears and tears and those moments where they can disappear are precious beyond words. After weeks…

Monday Musings…On A Saturday

When I last checked in during mid November I was working on getting ready for a new cancer treatment for my lymphoma that has never reached remission. I want to thank everyone for the prayers and positive vibes that have helped me make it through this last month where I was very ill again with…

Monday Musings…On A Thursday

I’ve been Thunderstruck this past two weeks to feel better than I have in over a year and so far my body is tolerating the current treatment plan.

Monday Musings

A few things I’ve learned over the last eight months since my lymphoma diagnosis is that I need as much laughter as possible in my life, tears of joy and not sadness, and plenty of horror movies/shows (maybe due to the horror show going on in Washington or because it’s so much fun sharing horror…

Monday Musings

The weather finally cooperated enough for a great Sunday morning bike ride. The paths were empty and for a moment a dragonfly was flying next to me setting the pace. There were signs of summer everywhere with trampolines and volleyball nets in yards, beautiful flowers along the path, classic convertible cars cruising and a perfectly…

Monday Musings

I promised myself when I was in the hospital missing one of my favorite seasons, winter, that I would never complain about the weather again, especially summer. I’m not going to complain about the two hour thunderstorm Saturday morning or the lightning strike in my driveway. I’m not going to complain about walking around a…
