Dear Friend:

This is not a Blog about writing! (I already have one of those.)

This is a blog about a journey I am taking with illness. I have recently been diagnosed with Cancer. My goal is honest therapy as I progress through, and beyond this new reality in my life. I hope that, somewhere along the way you will find some words that will help you too.

While this is, in fact, an interactive Blog, I hope that you will scroll slowly down this page. For you see, the front of this Blog IS my journey. The entries are conversations that are held along the journey.Yes, there is a lot on it--before actually getting to the Blog entries. But, I hope that by the objects and words which appear before the Blog itself, you might come to understand just a little bit about me, and my journey, and some truly amazing friends who have agreed to journey with me. I hope that you, too, will choose to accompany me on my walk--through the Valley.

I invite you to join me, and discover the wondrous truths, meet some truly amazing people, and share those "memorable" moments this journey will undoubtedly present. Come along, won't you?

In His Care,



Would you like to help me help others? I found this amazing organization, and I am proud to be a sponsor. I hope you will check it out. It's called The Network For Good.

I have moved the list of my thanks for those who have helped to make this little Blog so very special. I hope that you will take a moment to read the list, growing every day, and let these fellow travellers along this journey know that you appreciate the contributions they make to our walk together.

1.  Calendars, and Why They MatterID #673790 
Posted: 10-29-2009 @ 5:41 pm EDT 
Edited: 10-29-2009 @ 5:46 pm EDT 

It isn't news to anyone--I suppose. Calendars are a very important device for those of us on this journey. Doctor appointments tests, travel to different planets for a quick lobotomy--these and more are significant issues that must be dealt with. I am preparing my November, 2009 calendar. I am not happy.

I have several calendars in my apartment. They, when current, keep me aware of such things as the day and date of the week. This is quite the accomplishment, as I have no idea what day or date it is--ever, as a result of the strokes. I know I have an appointment with my Proctologist on Tuesday, the 10th of Nowonder. What good is that if I have no idea that it's Tuesday, or Nowonder? Believe me, it's a trick that requires a lot of help.

34 items to get on the November calendar. That's before the, umm, other November activity. You know...the chaos of NaNoWriMo. Yes, that has to be scheduled as well, because my world now revolves around a ten-hour work day, five days per week. It doesn't matter where I am,or what I am doing at the time. Some things just must be prioritized. NaNo IS my priority for November. Those thousands of words will produce my personal editing schedule for the next year. That's on top of everything else. Time is your friend, and your enemy at such times as these. Who needs Turkey? Bring on the nanocookies!

Now, about that lobotomy! *Bigsmile*


In His Care,

Budroe
