"Forget Injuries, Never Forget Kindnesses." ~ Confucious

First, let me apologise for the graphic nature of the last post.   I truly found it shocking that some people took my stoicism as meaning both my illness and my treatment were no big deal.   It was a bit of a rant from me but far better to let that stuff out and move on, than it is to keep it in and have it negatively impact my health.   Thanks for bearing with me.

I'm a little behind on a lot of things as I seem to have an overwhelming central focus on my own life at the moment, but know that once I'm past all of this, I will be back ... with a vengeance!!  I promise.   :)   (in a good way, of course!) ;)

Thank you to everyone who keeps in touch and keeps me in your thoughts and prayers.  It all really helps!  I'm overwhelmed by your cards, emails, phone calls and comments.  (PS:  it's ok to comment on the blog if you wish)  - you are amazing and I SO appreciate it!   Your words, thoughts and acts of kindnesses will be in my heart forever and are helping me survive and grow through this time.

Some of the wonderful, random acts of kindness:
