Howdy, ya'll.  I had quite a fun day today.  Breakfast with Dan.  A nice long shower (to last me 3 days).  A 2 1/2 hour infusion followed by lunch with my long-time friend, Peggy Edwards. 

She and I chatted about various projects she's been working on and the book I've begun working on (click here for the Introduction to Golf on Monday, Chemo on Tuesday: One Woman's Approach to Advanced Cancer.)  Then it was home for more chatting before Peggy headed for the Santa Clarita Valley.

I spent the afternoon working on the first of 20 recommendations for folks who've been diagnosed with cancer.  And then I had the ultimate summer pleasure of going for a sunny walk at 5:00 p.m.  Since then I've had dinner and now am talking to you, dear readers.

One other thing that made the day most pleasant was reading a positive article in the LA Times about South Central Los Angeles and the folks who are making a life for themselves in what some would consider one of the worst places to live in L.A.

Fascinating to see how the story these folks have about where they live and how they invest time and energy in making their homes beautiful reflects the lessons I've learned about thriving even though I have cancer.  It's so very much about the stories we tell ourselves.
