    I used "You don't have to be brave, you just have to show up." Worked for me!!

    i just kept counting...one chemo down....two chemos down, only 6 to go! 10 rads down, only 25 to go etc. etc. I also had a tendency to see things from outside myself, as if it were happening to someone else. That worked for me during tests and scans. So weird how it all comes back.

    Marle your nephew is probably here AT this resort this weekend it really filled up. Met a lot of families from Columbia and Guatamala


    I love the countries we have visited in Central America. Just need to improve my Spanish.


    Lisa no I am not on Facebook. I have been very busy when not traveling with my new grandson😀


    Barbe I have lost about 10 lbs but still need to loose a lot more just find it very hard. 😝


    Today we drove inland to see the volcano and national park. DH is not having as much luck birding here as in Costa Rica. We also plan to venture over the boarder into Guatamala on Tues.


    I hope all my beachette buddies are healthy and happy
