So I have to get a little deep here ... not typically where I go with this. But at this point last year is where I started my journey into the unknown - my battle with cancer (although I don't feel like I have the right to call it a battle because God gave me such an easy go of it). Since most of that is now behind me I've started what I call "my second life". I've heard some people say that that they started their life over or were given a whole new life after going through a big ordeal. Well... I don't want a new life - I like what I had (have). And I hated to say that I started a "bucket list" - because there aren't just too many things that I feel I just have to do before I die.
But there are some things I've opted to change. Personal things in how I handle what comes my way. I am acting on making myself a better person. We always say we wish we "could" be, I'm making the commitment to just make it "be". I stepped into an unknown role (a leadership role) as president of the day school board. Frankly I think I make a much better indian than chief - but we'll see. I sent a poem to a friend. We always say we need to tell people how we feel before it's too late - so I am (poems, thank you notes, emails) I've devoted time to me. I started taking guitar lessons - which I love; and I am learning - just for me. There's no pressure, no expectation to perform, or requirement to reach a certain grade/level. It is amazing how much more enjoyable learning can be.
Life is good -- and it's only getting better.

You've astounded me numerous times already! And to think you aspire higher (as we all should, but it makes me feel quite behind :) ) Keep on keepin' on. Ps18:33"He makes my feet like the feet of a deer; he enables me to stand on the heights."
