After the first two “clean” CT scans, I realized I had been given an amazing gift – a second chance at life of sorts. While this is thrilling and positive, it comes with a bit […]

https://www.flickr.com/photos/131662339@N07/24122522368/in/datetaken-public/ So, trying something new with adding images. Not perfect but a compromise. Pretty orchid, no? After writing the “woe is me” post last week I figured it was time to save myself. Sometimes the smallest changes make the biggest difference. I started listening to relaxation / meditation music before falling asleep. I took some […]

OMG, it’s been SIX MONTHS since I have been here! That’s just not right. And the site is giving me all sorts of trouble when I try to upload a pic. sigh….. So, it’s been interesting, not exactly sure where to begin. Trip to Europe (Rhine River cruise) was a success. River cruising is different […]

So where was I? Oh yeah, deciding on the vacation. Well, I am going! Threw caution to the wind and decided to just GO. No regrets yet lol. Airfare is booked, passport has been renewed, and final payment made on Friday. All I need to do now is show up on May 16. The kitchen […]

Ok, so it wasn’t a LOT of caution, but it still required some mental gymnastics to call AAA and say “sign me up!”. So yes, I will be going on a river cruise in May. It’s been an interesting week. In the end, my fear of regret won out over the argument to be more […]

What a difference a year makes! Last year at this time, I was recovering from surgery and waiting for the lab results that would change my life forever. This year, I am starting to plan a kitchen remodeling project and a possible bucket list trip. For the record, refinancing the mortgage may have been one […]
