		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m still pumped up on steroids from yesterday&#8217;s final treatment.  Last night Dave and I watched the second season of Sherlock, an episode of Slings and Arrows and House.  Then I was up til 1 a.m. reading the new book, Wild, about the woman, Cheryl Strayed, who solo hiked the Pacific Crest Trail. This morning, [...]

		<description><![CDATA[I ride high on life.  I admit it.  I seek new experience, I crave epiphanies. I&#8217;m one of those people who believes in living full &#8211; the enthusiastically examined life. In my 50s, that belief has led to making art, loving more fully and growing my meadow. My kids and best friends tease me about [...]

		<description><![CDATA[I fell asleep standing in the shower this morning.  Now that&#8217;s something you don&#8217;t hear every day. I was standing there, hot water streaming over my bald head (something I admit I will miss once my hair grows back), thinking about the meeting I am  attending this morning. Next thing I knew I was standing [...]

		<description><![CDATA[Last Christmas I hung blue ornaments on the tree beside our front door. Before I got my cancer diagnosis, before the holidays, I wired them up, each on a separate branch.  I smiled when I saw them, even on the hard days. The balls sparkled on the maple&#8217;s bare branches &#8211; through snow and sleet [...]

		<description><![CDATA[I admit it:  I&#8217;m depending on solitude to pull me through the last month of treatment. Chemo fatigue leaves me breathless and exhausted.  I&#8217;m less patient, and more snappish.  One two hour meeting and I&#8217;m toast. I can&#8217;t count on my creativity, my imagination, my optimism, my enthusiasms. I&#8217;m not so much in touch with [...]

		<description><![CDATA[Rounding the corner on the final round (5 is the goal), I faced chemo round four without Dave by my side. Tuesday I got the drip, tonight I&#8217;m into twitchy legs and the edge of nausea. Knowing Dave would be gone, my dear long-time sister-friend Jan flew in from New Mexico last weekend to care [...]

		<description><![CDATA[Sometimes you have to temporarily lose something in order to know how much you miss it. Dave flew to Cleveland last week to help his Dad out with some hard stuff.  James, Dave&#8217;s brother, joined them and the three of them (plus Eileen, Jim&#8217;s traveling partner, and also plus Susan, Jim&#8217;s step-daughter-inlaw and business/office manager) [...]

		<description><![CDATA[I never have had very many eyelashes.  Eyebrows have always been a little spotty. Now, however, things are ridiculous!  Thank God I anticipated this state of affairs and got new glasses with bigger frames.  Doesn&#8217;t make up for the waning eyebrows, but&#8230;.

		<description><![CDATA[Many people who walk the chemo road and claim the title &#8220;cancer survivor&#8221; travel towards very different destinations in the second half of their lives. I&#8217;m beginning to vision &#8220;after chemo is over, what happens next for me?&#8221;. Here&#8217;s what I know: I want to nurture my imagination.  It&#8217;s a gift I haven&#8217;t honored.

		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve got an old friend that is my muse.  When we are together, ideas and energies flow like water. This past weekend, Doug and I went (as we do several times each year) to visit Vernonia, a small Oregon town in the coast range. Along a glorious trail that connects Vernonia&#8217;s trout-stocked mill pond to [...]
