Cancer has been such an overwhelming presence on my mind lately, I hadn't been thinking of much else. I think it's one of those things I would never consider thinking about until i had to, and then I couldn't think of much else. I missed a lot of the good going on around me. I was afraid to feel good about my blessings.

I think I've snapped out of it. I admit I miss the snow. Not all of it, just the first falling. The lights in the park are wonderful, and the decorations at the library are amazing. I'm actually looking forward to the holiday for a change.

I wanted to wish all of my friends and family a great holiday, and a New Years day sans hangover!
