All Clean

I recall when my kids were little, after their baths, they would sing out "ALL CLEAN"!!! I am not sure when we started this, but that is what rang in my head when I hung up the phone after chatting with Dr. Darling, my Oncologist. Yes, we are ALL CLEAN with a check-up in three months and another round of CT Scans in 6 months.

Today is a day to celebrate life and live it with all we've got.

I have been running - today I ran a little over two miles, the word on the street is that when you can run three miles, you have "arrived" as a runner. So, today I strive to add "runner" to my list of me which will bring me a little closer to that goal of completing a Sprint Tri. For those of you who know me, you know that I am super graceful and that watching me run is like watching the Washington Ballet (kidding)...so keep an eye out for the clumsy one running in Leesburg, I just might trip over your car.

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. I find that more often than not the day can get away from me leaving no time for personal reflection, self improvement, etc. Work and my "social" time (i.e. Social Media) consumes my day. 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...
