celebrations

Good morning all -
I am in a good mood for a Tuesday! I think it was the good night's sleep I got last night. In bed early (for me) and slept until 6:30!

Well, I did a little celebrating over the weekend. First I went wave dancing with Beth. Wave dance or movement was developed by Gabriella Roth as a form of meditation. There are five movements flowing, staccato, chaos, lyrical, and stillness. It was amazing and it is serendipidous that Beth and I did this. Beth was the person I had lunch with after I first heard I had a GIST tumor. And Friday she was there as I took the final step across the threshold of being well again. I think the dance was that threshold. The chaos movement got me to crying and Beth was there to hold and hug me until it was all out and we swayed together in this connection as part of the dance. I was blessed and honored that Beth was there not only to hold and comfort me but to support me as I moved forward. My body didn't ache too badly on the way home or the next day. My key clue is if my feet really hurt - and they didn't - but it was most definitely both a great work out and a wonderful meditation.

Saturday I share a bottle of champagne with George and Priscilla. We had Thai take out and talked for hours - probably could have talk until the wee hours of the morning. I was wanted to celebrate with them because Priscilla you saw the most of anyone - you amaze me. You calmed me down when I was frantic with fear - you let me cry on your shoulder - hold your hand when I felt like a deer in headlights - you took me where I was at most of the time and was willing to just be with me - from these all three of us have become deeper friends - and that is what I am most grateful for.

In fact I think I think I have become closer to all of you who have listened to me here. I feel that is a blessing and I am so gratful for this great and wonderful connection.
