Thank you ladies, I really appreciate the all your kind wishes. I was in a terrible funk during January through the beginning of March. During that January time-frame our computer also broke and I had to rely on the one at our business. I am feeling much better now and I am ready to take on my next challenge. I signed myself up for the 3-day breast cancer walk in Boston, MA. I am very excited and emotionally charged. I feel like this will be a positive experience for me and a tribute for my mother.
If you would like to check out my web page and see how our team "Spirit" is doing just click on the link below. I am walking for all of us!!!

Hi Sarah,
Happy belated birthday! I would have been late sending birthday wishes anyway since I am habitually late, but now I can use chemo brain as an excuse :-)
I'm in awe of you for signing up for the 3-day walk. Go, Sarah!
I will do the Boston Marathon for Dana-Farber.
