Happy After Thanksgiving!

I hope everyone's vacation was as wonderful as mine. Full of family, friends and food. Lots of food. And naturally, since I have teenagers that headed back to college, I have absolutely zero leftovers left. Now for the fun part.....I got lots and lots of responses to "who would you want to spend a day with?" from my last entry. Some of the most interesting choices were: Florence Nightingale, William Wallace, Benjamin Franklin, Genghis Kahn (really?), Mary, Queen of Scots, John F. Kennedy, Marie Curie, Princess Diana, John Lennon, Marilyn Monroe, Al Capone, and King Tutankhamun. Lots of people wanted to spend a day with Jesus Christ, as well as several of the Disciples. But overwhelmingly, the majority of people that responded wished they could be with one of their parents that have passed on. So if your parents are still living, give them a hug today.

Who?

A friend of mine gave me Mitch Albom's latest book "for one more day". I had read one of his previous works (The Five People You Meet in Heaven) right after my mother's death, and was very comforted by it , so I was intrigued to check out his latest book. Again, same response---very comforting, somewhat thought provoking. So here's my question--if you could have one more day with someone, ANYONE.....who would you want it to be?

Notes from the Livestrong Summit

Even though the Lance Armstrong Summit is over, I am still mulling over things I learned. I wrote this down in my notebook:

Work hard. Work smart. Serve others first. Put your whole self into what yo are doing. Live for the moment. Know what's important and protect it with all your might.

Love well. Lighten up. And be thankful.

I am trying to remain all of the above....even though this past weekend was a chemotherapy weekend and I am green.....
