Dreams Shreams

Good morning! I've been distracting myself before the MRI with friends and walking. Yesterday I walked to Dan's work for lunch, finding a cool new path...




Of course, even with my best efforts at distraction, I had a nightmare last night that I had a 2 cm tumor. I'm not a dream whisperer, but maybe it's one of those reverse reality things where the opposite is true? That's what I'm going to decide to believe. 

I have been having such an amazing summer, and as corny as it sounds, I'm happy each day, waking up excited about my life, my friends and family, my little garden, our sweet Emma and baby Bingie. 

I haven't been researching as much, instead taking time to live my life, and enjoy myself. If the scan is bad, I'm sure I'll nose back into the research, but I have to say that these past few weeks have been such a treat!! 

I just feel so fortunate, so blessed, and incredibly grateful for my life. I don't know how I got so lucky!

Thank you!!!

I keep getting more and more texts and emails about the cherries, how delicious they are, and it makes me giddy. Dan and I feel so loved! I should have asked, if people felt like it, to shoot over a photo of them with their cherries. The anecdotes have been hilarious, and kind, and just everything that life, and friendships are all about. I can't believe how lucky we are. Life is just wonderful. I know I sound ridiculous, annoying even. Maybe even insincere? But from where I'm sitting, I have nothing but gratitude in my heart. I know it won't always be that way, how could it? Or could it. I don't know. I'm not sure what life's about. Where life will take us, how bad it could get, I have no answers. The only thing I have is each moment, each friend, each laugh and kiss with Dan, each hug with family, and it completely makes my life full of joy. Disclaimer: I do get cranky, and such, but with such an amazing life there isn't much to complain about. I just feel so loved. Thanks guys.
