Today is the end of cycle 1.   We have made it around this course once, in really good shape.  I must say that days 5-14 were very nice indeed.  I’ve got a ride and lots of company for tomorrow’s infusion.  I’ve got an idea what meds, ginger concoctions, massage and breathing might be helpful this time.  I don’t feel like I’m so much in the dark.  It doesn’t mean I won’t be uncomfortable.  I just have some idea what to expect.   We’ll see if this cycle is like the last one at all.  I do not feel dread as some have asked.  I’m very much in the moment and still full of G.O. energy.  I’m on the horse and she and I are acquainted.  GIDDYUP Girl.

“Rooted “ was inspired by my walks this morning.  The trees are getting Rooted-150x150ready for colder weather.  As they loose their leaves,  I will loose my hair.  Not that you need to know this, but my cycles are often on with the moon.  I mention it here because I feel strength in my connection with nature, and so it is with the trees as well.  If my calculations are accurate, I may be sprouting in the spring.  That works for me.

Thanks to all of you who made this first cycle so comfortable for us.  People continue to blow us away with thoughtfulness.  My big brother commented on the previous entry about the giving that touches me so.  Even just writing about THAT gets me started.  Jeepers.   I love kindness.

Off to yoga now, but I wanted to give you a couple updates:

KITCHEN UPDATE:  On Monday I was able to make a whole BUNCH of caponata, I got the peppers pressed with salt for pickled peppers (which were just processed today), made a great pot o sauce with sausages and meatballs AND a killer eggplant parm.  Am I in heaven?

BLOG UPDATE:  Obviously,  B is playing with the format, something he loves to do.  Please let us know what you think.  The spot that looks like a small paper tacked to the post at the top right is the comment link.  Please feel free to comment, we actually love it when you do.  It goes directly to our email, and it gives us a sense that someone is out there.

WALK FOR HOPE UPDATE:  Our goal was 15 team members, and as soon as I fugure out how to put B, A and E on the team, we’ll be up to, I think, 17 members!  We started with a $500 fundraising goal and kept upping it.  Our goal is now $2,000 and we have already collected $1570.  This is so COOL!
