June 29th

Well Saturday was a good day and evening. We attended a West Coast Workshop sponsored by Beth Trost. She brought Jim Minty in and everyone learned very good technique in West Coast. Bob and I attended the dinner dance and had a wonderful time. We danced and danced until our feet finally had had enough. However, the spirit wanted to "keep on dancin". I am always happy when I am dancing. What great therapy. All of our dance friends have been so wonderful to us.
I cannot believe how many women have shared their personal story of breast cancer with me already and I had no idea. It bolsters me up and makes me know I can handle what is to come - hopefully with as much spunk and grace as they have. I hate this disease. It is so harsh and steals parts of our bodies and then we must put ourselves back together again just like Humpty Dumpty. That just sucks!!!!!!!!!!!
Today was a good day. I actually slept last night- I am sure due to all the physical activity. We went to the gym and worked out this morning. This evening we went for a 2 mile walk with Padme. The wind had started to blow so it seemed wild and lovely.
Bob is helping me with the boat Annette and I will race in the boat race at Floating Woman. What would I do without him. He has been right beside me all the way and I know will be. That knowledge is priceless and so very comforting. It amazes me to know we have been together 48 years (five years dating and 43 years married). How did the time pass so quickly?? It seems as though we have always been together - well all but 14 years we have.
