A bit anxious............

[Mary Jo]

Thanks Becky. I had to chuckle at the end of your post "I'm fine and so are you.........but get it checked anyway!" Too funny! I will get it checked but only if it is the same as it is now or worse. Otherwise I'm not mentioning it. If it hurt while powerwalking and/or running I would be very concerned but it never does. I run up a 1 block hill also everyday - a couple times a day often - you'd think that would hurt like hell if it was a bone cancer. So, I guess, I know it isn't - BUT - we all know the fears associated with this "s h i _ _ y" disease and the fear part is the WORST part. I'm getting better and better with that part as I am learning to trust and know that it is all out of my hands anyway BUT hey, I'm not perfect YET!

Sheila, I received a box of chocolates from a friend in CA yesterday. I've told myself ONE piece a day (yesterday I had 3 - oh ok, shoot me - today is another day and I only had 1 - SO FAR) Anyway, while I was chewing this wonderful chocolate/caramel concoction I was thinking about your comment to me about a potassium defiiency and that I should load up on O.J. and/or bananas. Then I thought - geez, why couldn't she tell me I had a chocolate deficiency and to load up on chocolate. That sounds WAYYYYY better than O.J. or bananas! Anyway, just had to share that with you.

As always - praying for God's Peace to be with each of us as we journey together.

Thanks.
