Ok, Marie, as usual, your post makes anything anyone (especially me!) might say next seem like a feather in the wind!
So glad you were able to share that wonderful moonlight beach time. And keep encouraging Ed (and the rest of us!)

My little teeny joy was using my "internal alarm clock" this morning to get up at 5 am (2 1/2 hours earlier than usual), to go up to UCSF for labs and my infusion. I stopped using alarm clocks 9 years ago after hearing a speaker on "the power of your mind" tell us that your body KNOWS what time it is and you can wake up whenever you want, but most people don't trust it. Well, it took a while, but I now BELIEVE my mind has the power to wake me up at whatever time I say, and it works!

Now if I could just get it to put all those little canser cells to sleep, permanently!
