Life is an opportunity, benefit from it.
Life is beauty, admire it.
Life is bliss, taste it.
Life is a dream, realize it.
Life is a challenge, meet it.
Life is a duty, complete it.
Life is a game, play it.
Life is a promise, fulfill it.
Life is sorrow, overcome it.
Life is a song, sing it.
Life is a struggle, accept it.
Life is a tragedy, confront it.
Life is an adventure, dare it.
Life is luck, make it.
Life is too precious, do not destroy it.
Life is life, fight for it.

Had a good day today despite a bad nights sleep. Woke up a bit tired so only managed a half hour walk. It was very pleasant if a bit arduous (relatively speaking of course). There was very heavy rain last night with lots of lightening and thunder. Paula thinks there was at least an inch. Actually had puddles on the track.
Spent the rest of the morning catching up on e-mails and sorting out some records on the computer. I wrote a general e-mail with photos but wanted to write a few individual ones as well to answer some specific questions. I had planned on doing chemo this morning but postponed to the afternoon.
Got an email back from Ursula advising not to put the vitamin C injection in with the others. Spent some hours in the afternoon preparing and administering my various potions. It takes quite a lot of preparation to get ready. Thank goodness for my injection port, makes it so much easier to do intravenous administrations. Had Zofran (for nausea) Epirubicin, Gemzar, Factor AF2 with the usual flushing before and after and priming the port with heparin to avoid clots.
no nasty side effects so far. Usually don't feel sick till the next day. Something to look forward to :). Glen made me a green juice so I felt like that was helping with side effects.
Managed 12 laps of the pool after the chemo so feel very pleased with myself. Didn't get out to swim till about 5 pm as the pool had some work done to it yesterday and could not be used for 24 hours.
Another lovely day in the desert. The Arizona Barrel Cactus is flowering (top picture).
Surviving and thriving
