Two Months Out - Healthy

Hi everyone. Life is going great, Jay and I have harvested his horseradish and he made horseradish for our friends and family. We even grew some brussels sprouts this year that turned out great! They were a little small, but had great taste. I'm admitting to the good taste even though I've never been a brussels sprouts enthusiast. The garden is now officially resting for the winter.

I wanted to share a poem with all of you that I read and really liked. It was written by Marsha Millard-Atchley of Lake Annette, Missouri.

"THE BALD BADGE OF COURAGE

Cancer, you tried to take my spirit,
you only tarnished my patience.

Cancer, you thought you could steal my soul,
you gave me stronger faith.

Cancer, you plucked at my dignity,
you didn't know I would remain proud.

Cancer, you snatched away my strength,
you couldn't bring me to my knees.

Cancer, you warped my body and my mind,
you didn't steal my hope.

Cancer, you led to chemo, which took all my hair,
But the bald badge of courage, I was glad to wear.

Cancer, I am a warrior, through and through,
you tried to take me, but I took you."


Even going into winter, life is so rosy, warm and inviting. I'm glad to be here to embrace everyday, good, bad, happy, sad, rainy, snowing, bring it on!

Enjoy the holidays with loved ones and friends.
