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.

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…On A Tuesday

Far Out & Groovy Times

It appears my funky and fun mood can continue on throughout the summer after good news from my doctor yesterday. After a round of great test results, in late June I was told I still have minimal residual disease, which means I have a few cancer cells floating around in my blood, and could have…

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…
