Greeting to dear loyal readers! April is here - and I am about to celebrate 70 years of LIVING! Feeling so thankful that my body responds well to treatment, and I march forward (gaily). Had a wonderful week in Pittsburgh, visiting brother George and wife Adele in their lovely high rise condo, and attending an adult ed conference, giving my presentation about autism research. Exciting to visit the Carnegie Mellon museum, the Andy Warhol museum, and the amazing Frank Lloyd Wright house, Falling Waters. Who knew that Pittsburgh has so much to offer!
Continuing with Taxol chemo, but not at all difficult - just a lovely bald" Had an amazing "pay it forward" experience on the plane ride from Philadelphia to Pittsburgh. A woman came to economy from first class and said "you have to take my seat!" She shared later that her mom had recently died of ovarian cancer. She rushed off the plane before I had a chance to get her name - am trying to find out from the airline!! There are sincerely good people in the world. Sisters in the Big C!
Am continuing to enjoy my sabbatical research on autism - fascinating to explore the strengths and gifts of different brains. This is "Autism Awareness Month" - light the world blue!
Also had fantastic mini vacation in Vermont with Beth and family members - they had wonderful ski days, I sat in the sun viewing the beautiful snow covered hills (in 50 degree weather!) and enjoying a beautiful vacation cottage complete with Jacuzzi tub! At home, crocuses are blooming, robins singing, and new life coming in green and hopeful. Am so fortunate to have time and family - looking for ways to continue my own "Pay It Forward" in new ways. Til next time... Sal
