Funny thing....

Despite my cranky knees and miserable feet I've really felt good this past week

And then it hit me...it's been 6 (SIX!) weeks since my last chemotherapy treatment. Do I really feel better and have more energy because of that?

Or is it just that days are getting longer and more daylight makes me feel better?

Or is it that the bitter cold weeks are gone, and snow is falling in the mountains (where it belongs) and not here in the valley?

Or?

Or?

Because there is more than one possibility I may never know the real cause and reason specifically, but it was a good feeling to have--in spite of my cranky knees and feet. And perhaps time will tell and reveal which it is (I hope).

Life Goes On-UNhappy Anniversay-Jan. 24

One year ago today the day started with this:

A rare storm that had ICE coating everything.

It was a treacherous drive in to work.

But that wasn't the worst of it.

One year ago today I was notified, after 38 years, my job description and position had been eliminated and the next day would be my last day of employment.

This is the next day, even though it looks the same...a storm repeat: 

At the time I thought that job loss was the worst thing that could happen to me. Boy, was I wrong! Perhaps it was a way of preparing me for the far worse thing to come along? However, it's nice to get this "first" over with. Many more of these so-called anniversary 'firsts' yet to come in 2014.

Now I Know...

...why there's so much of the stuff around here lately!

(not to mention priorities and life's outlook changes with the big 'C')

Problem Pile

Really?
A year ago I would've said "YES!!"

Now, I'm not so sure.
