I am back after a little break. After my mothers departure I took a break from blogging to focus on getting back to my regular routines. I am happy to say that I am settling in to life again.
This entry focuses on feeding your body and your mind. Prior to the whole cancer deal, Henry and I would try to attend a Wednesday dinner at a friends home as many times as we can in a year. The friend clears his schedule 50 times a year for this dinner where each week someone volunteers to do a main course, someone else does dessert and salad and so on. After dinner, we all gather in his living room and watch a movie on a drop down screen. It is a great group of people that gather, sometimes the group is as little as 6 people sometimes as many as 14 depending on the week. A great sense of family, considering my real family is 2,500 miles away. This is a salad Henry and I brought for one of the recent Wednesday dinners which included red and yellow bell peppers, carrots, Asian pear and salad greens.
Recently the mailman dropped off something at my front door to feed my mind. My Aunt Bari has read my blog, I know this because part of her package included two bottles of bubbles for the inner kid in me! Also included in her package was a portable CD player, batteries and three CDs focusing on healing and meditation to help feed my mind. She had noticed that many people sent me food items and she wanted to send something to feed my mind during the healing process. A big hug and thanks Aunt Bari!! Love you very much. You were instrumental in getting me to clear my mind and focus on being calm prior to the surgery and I am sure these CDs will come in handy as I go through the rest of the healing process and the treatments yet to come.
