In my head I've been composing a letter to Cancer. I might get it out of my head eventually and post it here. Watch out...it won't be pretty. It will be a hate letter with maybe a little love thrown in, who knows.
My counts are low right now, so I'm on lockdown for the weekend. Ironically I am beginning to feel a tad bit better than I have all week. The weather is supposed to be nice this weekend, so I am hoping to get out and at least get some fresh air.
Lost Star
When the creation was new and all the stars shone in their first
splendor, the gods held their assembly in the sky and sang
`Oh, the picture of perfection! the joy unalloyed!'
But one cried of a sudden
---`It seems that somewhere there is a break in the chain of light
and one of the stars has been lost.'
The golden string of their harp snapped,
their song stopped, and they cried in dismay
---`Yes, that lost star was the best,
she was the glory of all heavens!'
From that day the search is unceasing for her,
and the cry goes on from one to the other
that in her the world has lost its one joy!
Only in the deepest silence of night the stars smile
and whisper among themselves
---`Vain is this seeking! unbroken perfection is over all!'

Hey Kelly-
Just thinking about you tonight...
I went for a walk as the sun was setting and the huge moon was rising tonight. My hubby and I walked through the crunchy bits of snow and frost on the ground and watched the moon come up through the trees. It was cold but beautiful. My cocker spaniel flushed a momma moose and her baby out of the woods at the edge of the field. There breath made clouds of steam in front of them. It was a beautiful walk.
I have just been thinking about you and hoping you are having a peaceful night.
Hugs,
Deb C.
When does Joe get to meet you?
