When you're writing...

Write the way you talk.
Write the way you think.
Write what you do.
           what you hate.
           what you love.
           what you want.
           what you see.
           what you hear.
           what you feel.
           what you need.
           what touches you.
           what hurts you.
           what confuses you.
           what worries you.
           what makes you happy.
           what makes you angry.
           what makes you horny.
           what makes you sad.
           what makes you cry.
           what makes you smile.
           what makes you dance.
           what makes you sing.
           what makes you breathe.
           what makes you stop.
Write it all.

Thanksgiving...

 

For every
day, not
just a
one-day
holiday.

I'll keep this short...

Carol got the biopsy results this week.
The spot on her lung is migrating colon cancer.

That puts her at Stage 4.

She is not a candidate for surgery. Too high risk.
That leaves radiation or chemo.
She'll see an oncology radiologist first week of December.
They'll make a decision after that.

Her oncologist is hoping they can do radiation
because it could be a "one and done" treatment.

So far, she's feeling fine. Not quite the energy level
she once had but close. Her positive attitude continues
to amaze us. She says "I've been through this before. I'll
get through it this time, too."

I hope she's right. 

 

Compassion and understanding...

 

It's OK...
