You had a Great Gatsby Birthday? Do tell the details! I am a huge fan of the book and an English teacher. I had a Great Gatsby party at school after we finished the book. I’d love to hear about your party.

1. Riding the rollercoasters with my youngest sister…and surprising her by going on ten in three hours. That was the day the fraidycat me disappeared. (Summer 2006)

2. The brilliant blue of the water in the lagoon as I bungee jumped toward it. (Summer 2007)

3. Dancing in the drizzle in Mum’s backyard after my sister’s wedding.

4. Riding my bicycle (any of a million times) and feeling like I was flying.

5. The look on my sister’s face when her yorkie sprayed her with green slime while shaking off after a swim in the river. We were all in a canoe and had nowhere to go!

6. The delicious feeling upon finishing an exceptionally good book.

7. Laughing uncontrollably in the backseat of Mum’s car with my best friend. It was wintertime, we were nine and our laughter completely frosted the windows!

8. Long weekends at the beach with my gang of friends.

9. Crying when my Dad called to tell me that I had a niece.

10. Laughing my guts out with D / my Mum / my sisters / my friends.

11. A crazy road trip to Ontario with my Dad and his two sisters and me and my two sisters. Six adults in a Buick in late May / early June.

I could go on and on and on! Thanks Maggie!

Because of my current battle with Ovarian Cancer here are my hopes…

Not having any more Kidney failure when I have my next treatment April 8th

Not crashing when I take my steroids the Sunday, Monday, Tuesday the week of chemo like I did this month

Getting good news back from my blood test which I take 3 times a month..regarding my blood and vital organs

Being able to work so I don’t loose everything I worked for the last 29 years in commercial real estate.

Remembering the help my family and friends have given me since my surgery January 18th…something I never needed before in my adult life.

Being humble and grateful for the days, months, years, I live…and remembering to do that, live.

learning how to relax in the face of fear which I feel most of the time.

Remembering to love life as I did before cancer for the second time..

My best,

I decided to post my own on my blog because this idea makes me smile from the inside.

Oh fun! a few of mine:

breastfeeding at 3 a.m. when it seems all the world is asleep.

the first time my son said, “I love you.”

holding both my children in my lap

dancing with my kids

the drive home after we got married

staying up late and playing sega with my best friend in 7th grade

bob dylan in concert a week after we got married.

Wow I think I could go on all day. I hope the flashing before the eyes right before you die thing lasts that long.

1. Riding a bike in Yunnan. Pausing to take a picture of my shadow
2. Jumping when the minister said, “husband and wife”.
3. My daughter, in Christmas pajamas, asleep in my arms
4. My mother and I poolside in Las Vegas
5. High School – catching fireflies in my parents’ back yard. Knowing that we were probably too old to be running around like kids, but still soaking up the moment.
6. Learning how to drive stick shift in the Jewel parking lot near campus
7. Falling asleep in bed after my daughter’s baptism. Smelling the baptismal oils on her head as we snuggled.
8. By noodles from a street vendor in Bangkok at night.
