Saturday....March 6th...2010

Linda's Resurgence......

Linda has decided that she has backed herself in a corner with the lingering effects of her surgery.....the procedures she must follow because of the ostomy....the painful impact of the shingles.....relatives getting lung cancer and dying.....dealing with stage 4 lung cancer itself....etc...etc....

She has decided to "rise up" and get back "fight'en"......she has made a commitment to get active again...to walk again....go eat better....to have a better attitude.....

Realize, if you will, that what Linda has been through, would "take" a normal person "down"......but again, she isn't normal.....so the "resurgence" begins....

Sooooo, let's get behind her and cheer her on.......cards, calls, blog comments....it all helps.....

Today she did her part...for a start...she got a fancy haircut to feel femine....took a walk...baked bread....had a great attitude....watched the hockey game on TV....

Here's to the power of being abnormal!!

Linda & Dave, both of you have shown tremendous power and resiliency throughout this process and you are both an inspiration. I know this decision to think and do positive things will be just the ticket to get you both into a great state of mind. Positive thoughts coming your way, just to help a tiny bit.

Keep moving forward! My love to you both, as always.

What a new hair do can do, right. You look marvelous! Hey, you are all ready for the Oscars tonight. You are our champion.
With that smile the sun will surely be out to brighten everyone up.
Thanks for my pep talk, Linda.
Love you,
Janet

So good to talk to you. I always feel so much better when I actually hear your voice. I love the pictures. Here is hoping you have sunshine the rest of your time in Florida.
They are predicting snow here today. I never really worry when it is predicted. You know the valley, it never comes when predicted!

Cute doo Linda!! You are absolutely amazing and you do more with all of your physical challenges than some people do that do not have any challenges whatsoever. You have always done more in an average day than most and glad to read that you are still giving it your best....and then some.

It has been raining here in AZ, but Ken is golfing (in between rain showers) today and I am on my way to line dancing.

Positive thoughts always to you and Dave.

Love & hugs, Susan & Ken
