Thank you all for your thoughtful and warm responses. You have all given me food for thought, and if I do as many as you have suggested, I'll listen to my gut on this one. It still wants to sniff the roses and put off the test.

It is time to stop and figure out what has been programmed into me as a route to happiness, and where I truly find fulfillment and pleasure. Right now, I'm having a great time planning our trip to Rome, and puttering around the apartment. Last summer, I was doing chemo and maybe it is just too soon to expect boundless energy. I'm gonna stop feeling guilty about it!

Thanks all,
Jen
