Richer

I've been having a hiatus from blogging - the busyness of a cruising holiday with no wifi, Dr's appointments and an injured arthritic knee that is giving me grief.

Otherwise, all is well and good with my soul.


I had my Oncology follow-up appointment today and the DR was happy with things. I expected no less.


Once a year ,  my local community and other communities across Australia come together to walk (run and wheel) alongside carers, survivors and supporters - fun and friendship ensues.While there is a truly sad side , it also is a time of celebration.


I joined our local committee and it's been enlightening how much effort and hard work goes into Relay. I'm really looking forward to it. Visiting the oncology unit today reminded me why I relay.





I'm having an arthroscopic surgery in a few weeks because of the torn meniscus in my knee, that keeps locking up and catching causing momentary excruciating pain and a little lingering discomfort. 

After more than 6 wks off exercising and absence from the gym I am at my heaviest weight ever. Of course over eating on the cruise has nothing more to do with it.

Running ...it's not happening.

Swimming ... I've got a plan to get my 'freestyle' stroke correction and breathing sorted out. A lovely friend has offered. I just have to keep my ears absolutely dry.

How has life been treating you lately ?

I love all those quotes - very inspiring! Pleased everything went well with at oncology and here's hoping that surgery brings some welcome relief!

Thank you Sammie - I love your weekly quotes. It means less to write (say) too. I just want to run again and complete a mini tri - hence the swiming.
I have a friend who is a cancer survivor and she has a relay for life team. I really wanted to do it this year and be a part of her team, but alas a holiday I'd been planning for years and years clashed. That wasn't going to stop my little girl though. She's 9 and she spent months fundraising for it and was thrilled to be a part of the event. Moving forward it is going to be our annual event, the one we work toward all year round. It truly is a lovely way to support the cause acknowledge survivrors, think of those we've lost and provide hope for those fighting every day. You're an inspiration.

Thank you Mandy. Your daughter is an inspiration to me. My 9yr olds are doing it with us this year too.
Oh lots happening in your part of the world. I'm really glad your appointment went okay.

And it's great that you're enjoying your involvement with Relay for Life. It's such a great cause and I'm glad it gets so much attention (at least it does in my part of the world!)
