Thank you so much for your continued
thoughtfulness of me. You are an inspiration to me and I love you the best I
can, and that's a lot. From time to time, if I think of something that might be
helpful or a good way to describe what is happening to me, I run it into this
blog.
Neighbors, healthcare providers, my
family, and so many other people have, unbeknownst to them, helped push me
through a bad day with a smile, a joke, or a hug. And shared the joy and
laughter (and singing off-key) of a good day! It’s still a big, wide, wonderful
world out there.
Cancer has treated me gently and
still is handleable, thanks to hospice pain and situation management. With the
good grace of Ralph, assist of hospice, my body is still treating me gently as
it softly steers me away from its lifelong task of living, caring, and assigning
that energy from my legs, arms, lungs and using it to keep my eyes reading, my
heart still able to take a leap at the sight of a loved one, and my head still
working--mostly. I'm so grateful for that, believe me. Each day brings a new
surprise—wanted or unwanted . . . you just never know which!
I continue to perfect the John
Cleese “Silly Walk,” and found a few twist and tiggley-toe shots he hasn’t even
dreamed up yet.
You are in my heart and may I
continue in yours.

P.S. Grace and Frankie are back on Netflix. This is a most extraordinary show . . . but how could it not be with Jane Fonda and Lily Tomlin--already legends in their own rights . . not to mention Sam Waterston and Sheen.
