Grass Pathways

Hello Folks,

Here are photos of some grasses that I noticed. Although it is December, these grasses are preparing for spring...

Things do not move so quickly these days, so I am not going to commit to a regular daily schedule of posting to the blog. However, I will be sending updates on the weekends. If something comes up during the week, then I will post mid-week.

I am basically doing crossword puzzles and enjoying them immensely...

Here is an update on the eight strategies:
Strategy #1: Medical Treatment
Regarding my treatment … it is over for now and I am waiting to see my radiation oncologist in the latter part of December.

Strategy #2: Beliefs and Attitudes
I believe that my treatments have been rigorous and successful and I am awaiting my recovery. I do find this an exciting. I have much to look forward to.

Strategy #3: Exercise
I am walking and trying to get out daily, for fresh air. I really am looking forward to this even if it is really cold outside.

Strategy #4: Purpose/Play Balance
I have gone on a crossword puzzle kick. Just trying to activate any brain cells that I lost in the recently and in the past.

Strategy #5: Social Support
This is still such a strong element... with calls, visits, and kindness helping to move each day forward.

Strategy #6: Diet and Nutrition
This is what I spend most of my day working on, getting adequate amounts of liquid and nutrition.

Strategy #7: Creative Thinking
This is an area that I continue to work on… Being positive is so important for my well being. My treatment has ended and I am looking forward to the body looking after itself.

Strategy #8: Spirituality
“Faith is like a bird that feels dawn breaking and sings while it is still dark.”
