I pick up right where I left off at the last post – Feel’n Good!
It was a very fine long weekend here in Eugene – a weekend filled with delightful family social events. The overall big one was Orion’s graduation.
Orion’s brother, Eric, flew up from San Diego to celebrate and he stayed at our house. It had been a while since Eric and I hung out, so it was great for us catch up on each others’ lives. We cycled to Voodoo donuts, walked the golf course and dined together with his desert at Prince Pucklers. After a Sunday breakfast out with the boys, Eric was gracious enough to offer his superior mechanical talents in helping me install our new air conditioner – not a trivial task. Thank you Eric!
The big event was at Steve’s place on Saturday night as he hosted the celebration BBQ. Rich was finally home and ready to celebrate, Lynn telling her party jokes, Orion old enough to be served legally, Joey looking fine in his party attire and the rest of the family very happy to be together. Super fun event – Congratulations Orion!
It is absolutely wonderful to feel great physically. I’m not working out super hard, but have been engaged in tasks around the house and expending lots of social energy. I am easily able to maintain the energy level and have fun! Life seems pretty easy. I feel like those cancer cells are being mercilessly assaulted and on the run. My vision is that cancer cells are dying at a phenomenal rate, tumors are shrinking and the stem cells are being threatened. I feel like the good guys are winning!
I elect to go with this narrative for now and am very much enjoying the script. After all, I do continue to feel great. So until the next dip, I’ll be riding high in the saddle and loving it the whole way through.
TTFN my friends!
I hate to say that I enjoy reading your blog. It’s awful, the cancer, but the way you are expressing yourself is wonderful on so many levels. It helps to understand what you’re going through (your positivity is amazing) and it’s educational. When I was in middle school I loved when you called me a superstar…but it is you who is the Superstar! Thank you for sharing your journey. Sending you good vibes and virtual ((hugs)).
Love that you’re feeling good! Glad my mom is headed up next week too. 🙂
Glad things are going well . Having family around only makes life better.
Big smile. THE GOOD GUYS ARE WINNING. Perfect!
Cheering you on Mike!
