Wave and Smile

Just a quick note....I succumbed to the hair falling out and went to the barber and had it shaved last Wednesday. Take note that we live in a new neighborhood (since June) and while some have been friendly, you know...we are still the newbies.

So out I go in my pink scarf to walk the dog, and you would have thought I was a celebrity...people waving, smiling, saying hi. It was pretty funny. I guess scarves bring out the kindness of strangers, works for me. However, this is another life lesson...why wait for the scarf to wave? Just do it. When I walk, I will make sure to smile, wave, and say hi. Although, you know I pretty much did this all along.

Good Night. ;)

A Thousand Mornings and Ben Franklin

"What is this schedule thing under the glass on the desk?" he asked. "Oh, that is just Ben Franklin's daily schedule that I printed." I responded. He looked at me as if I had three heads and didn't ask any more questions, probably not wanting to engage in another crazy Amanda "idea" A few weeks ago I came across an article on time management that referenced Ben Franklin's daily schedule. Since I am always seeking ways to improve my time management, I was fascinated at how good ol' Ben organized his day, allotting time for personal reflection, social affairs, reading, and of course work.

SO....I decided to take on the challenge of working a modern version of Ben Franklin's schedule.Of course, I am not the first to have this fascination...thi...

Can you see the forest through the trees?

Today I am struggling to see the forest through the trees? In a matter of 2 hours, I now have the dates for my next surgery (metaport installation), my chemo class, and my first round of chemo. You would think I would be prepared and ready, since it is after all through a series of appointments and phone calls that I went to and made that brings us to these dates. However, I feel like I just ran into a brick wall with my bike. Suddenly, this is all real, again. I also hate to ask for help, thankfully, we are blessed with many who haven't seem to tire of our needs thus far. Next Wednesday I will get my port installed and on 9/10/10 I will begin my 12 week journey of squeezing the life out of my cells so that cancer doesn't stand a chance. It is funny, because it is time to get back to reality. The kids start school, at their new schools on 9/7 which is also the day I get back to work, at least part time. So, while we start our lives anew, in our new home with new schools, friend...
