    Sheila & Granny,

    So glad you both made it thru the storm.... Hope things get better for you soon. The devastation is just heartbreaking... 

    By the way, has anyone heard from Joan? Hope she is doing well and not without power...

    Hugs to everyone....

    Granny- its hard sometimes - it really is....but we've lived long enough to know it does get better...I guess that's the trade off with living long - we see more - anyway have the dates for NYC - it is april23-25 so I will have the 26th that Friday wide open ! I can't wait

    Actually been traveling a lot and I am a bit sick of it...feel guilty saying that as boss has been sending me to some cool places last one in October was to San Juan ...and I'm going to San Francisco next Sunday ....I guess I just am not into the -fabulousness- that much any more - it doesn't mean that much or as much as it once did...I wanna scale back...sell this big ass house ...slow down in order to do more that I want - sounds like heresy with so many out of work - but I feel like I am mouthing the words and going thru the motions but not feeling it so much- title doesn't mean what it used to- anyway-for now it's all good as it afforded me my treatments and the realization I could finally say to myself wow lookee there you did good by society's standards - lol.... I'll get my hernias fixed and just see what is what :)

    I do love you all so much :)

    Just a little change of subject here for a moment.....

    I am four years out today.

    Four years.........where did it go? That time in my life.... I have lived that four years as a different person. Born one person & have since become another. Sometimes I feel like I am looking down upon myself from somewhere up above, seeing someone I don't even know anymore.... but I am me. Just different.

    Forever changed.

    I do want to thank each & every one of you, my dear, dear sister/friends for all of your support, caring, strength, love & hugs each of those days. Just knowing you are here every day and night, even if I don't say anything, I know you are here, has meant more to me than you can realize.

    ♥♥♥♥

    I feel precisely the same way, val!

    Your post was very eloquent and something I am sure all of us feel.

    You are 4 years stronger now !

    I am one year out and I have found it is easier also. I don't think of cancer every day, but some days I do get down. So we take the good and bad so to speak and keep moving on. Blessed be everyone.

    Hi, I really appreciate the concerns for those of us on the east coast...thank you...
    Had no power for 4+ days then went to NJ for GDs princess birthday party - a much needed event in the midst of powerless chaos. 
    No damage right here...just inconvenience and now gas lines.  Also back to work after 9 days home, and trying to catch up - so busy, no sleep...can't wait until the week end.
    Mimi, Val, congrats on your milestones.  So happy for you.
    Annette, what a medical nightmare.  I asked for scans out of fear of the unknown, and was turned down a few times.  After reading your saga, I think I am relieved.  So sorry to hear that your hernias are requiring repair...enough already!!!  Your approach to treatment makes sense and you should be supported.  I hope you find a more holistic care provider.  Don't give up.
    It is another stormy night here...wind is howling almost like Sandy.  Snow, rain...some people got power out again after waiting a long time to get it on.  As I said above, enough already!!!
    Be safe and positive thoughts for all.
    Joan

    Joan, Sheila and Granny and anyone else I really hope all of you on the East Coast are staying warm with all the snow and if you still have no power praying that it comes back on soon.  If you were displaced by the hurricane I pray that you find a place to stay safe and live happily.  May God bless each and everyone of you in this time of need.  You all have been through so much.

    Thank You.....We can use some prayers...

    I'm grateful...home is standing and no damage......as long as we have power it's fine meaning the heat is working.......

    I actually listened to the radio and I loved some of the new songs very much.....

    Everything else is coming and going......

    The good part about this latest storm is they closed my college again.  I got another day of rest. I got lazy today and did not look for a gas line.  Tomorrow starts odd/even days rationing.  I am afraid it may make the lines worse.  DH is taking good care of the gas supply.
    I had no bad effects from this storm except a scary drive home from work Wed PM.  Many are still suffering and without power or heat. 
    Sheila, I had to tune into radio for a few days too!  We found a battery powered boom box in the basement from when my kids were teeny boppers. 
    DD#2 emailed today from coastal CT and she was flooded in her crawl place - lost all of the duct work and had to replace before they could go home after 10 days. 
    Hope many of you are enjoying beautiful weather.  Tomorrow I should see sun and a warmer week end.
    Hugs,

    Joan

    Oh man! I want you all safe and sound and warm back east! But I will be including you all in my thanksgiving prayers of gratitude that you all are SAFE!

    I'm getting ready to head for San Francisco on Sunday-I'm hoping this trip can be a line of demarcation for my head - a kind of before and after -even tho it's for work I'm going to try to get as much out of it as I can- I have to let go so that I may move forward and I'm praying I really can.... I'll be in touch for I have come to realize once again how very special friendships are... New to me - I'm not used to reaching out and this forum is the truly the first time I let the walls down- you all mean so much to so many- even tough ones like me:)
