Linda felt pretty good today.... a bit worn....three bouts of significant phlegm....no nausea....slept in late....
We walked a mile and two thirds today, stopping to talk with our neighbors across the creek....Jack and Liz (posters on this forum too!).....they brought over some delicious soup tonight and with Linda's scones and my (ok, mostly Linda's) salad and Liz's brownies, we had a great time catching up on the neighborhood news. They are a great supportive couple.
Tomorrow I thought about skiing ...but next week maybe...Tuesday's are "Tightwad Tuesdays" at our local ski area....can't wait to get back on the "boards". Tomorrow night we attend a Defeat Cancer dinner in Bend.....it is sponsored by the Lance Armstrong Foundation, LIVESTRONG. The guest speaker will be Barbara Buchan, two gold medal winner in the past Olympics...... her topic: Riding Down a Dream: Lessons For Cancer Survivorship.
When Linda was in treatment last winter, we attended several of the events like the above,through our local hospital....the events and ladies (Rosemary and Beth) have been very key to our mental and emotional health during all this....we appreciate them a lot.

A good quote for today:
“Promise me you'll always remember: You're braver than you believe, and stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think." Christopher Robin to Pooh -- via A. A. Milne
Why do Pooh quotes always find me teary-eyed? :-)
Knowing that Christopher Robin says the same thing to Linda -- who's wrapped in that golden glow of healing love.....

John and I are going to enjoy the little heat-wave heading our way today. We can finally see the grass and remainders of last year's flower gardens. This kinds of day give one a sense of renewal for life. You two are certainly on the right track, finding ways to support yourselves in your journey. I often find something written in this blog that helps me in mine.
More distant Reiki coming your way.

How wonderful that your hospital offers that kind of inspirational and helpful evening. I wish our HMO had offered that sort of thing when Mom was ill. Would have been so great for us all.
Take care, you two. Keep strong and keep positive. Love to you both, as always.
Hi guys,
