A good December

Hi Friends & Family!
I hope this note finds all of you well, and happy? Hopefully each of you have had a bit of time to reflect on the season and what it means to each of you. I wish good things and good health for you in 2008.

December has been the best month! I say this because the paper, the lights, the mangers, the food, the get-to-gethers, the hugs and the laughter have been the best ever! As crummy as things have been (due to my cancer news/events) I can't be down this time of year. If cancer has taught me anything, its taught me to appreciate-- everything.

I've learned to appreciate cloudy days, to many phone calls, traffic lights, and vacuuming. These are some of the things that used to drive me crazy! Now.... let's just say that "these are the kinds of problems I want to have". Sorry to be so vague, but nobody has the time to read about what used to drive me into a spastic state. I guess I'm trying to say, that (i think anyway!) I worry about the little things, less.

I have to admit, that Steve has been instrumental in my happiness these days. My wonderful husband gives me more hugs, looks of concern, love & pep talks than I can tolerate! He is very supportive, & loving, and I feel blessed to have him in my life. He's also doing a great job of taking care of me. Not only when I'm sick from chemo & the Neulasta, but when I'm down & blue. Steve is cheerful, positive and brightens my moods. (as you can imagine, thats not an easy job!!) Lets just call him my "Sunshine".

I can see that I"m getting long winded now. Lets blame this, and not making any real point, on chemo brain. I just wanted to say that December has been a great month!
