Got up early this morning to say goodbye to Erik before he rocketed north on the 5.  Did some office work, responded to a ton o' emails, napped twice, walked for a mile with Dan, did some ab/core (very gentle) work...talked on the phone with several people.

Today was supposed to be my "crash" day, and I suppose it is.  The steroids have left the building so there's not a lot of extra energy to go around.  But overall, I'm happy with what the day has brought.

I did hear from a friend from our San Diego years, Brian W., who has also been challenged by cancer in the last year.  He was so wonderful, offering the benefit of his longer experience at this battle as well as help and chemo support if needed.  I also learned today that the son of a friend of mine from the Food Pantry days has been fighting Stage IV colon cancer for this past year.  He's 32 years old.

So here's a shout out, Lord, for Derek and Brian.  Healing mercies, tender loved ones, total cure.

Amen.
