I MADE IT TO 2011!!! Happy New Year to everyone! Sorry I haven't been blogging regularly but I made it to 2011!

I now have seven items on my bucket list completed and two items well on the way to being completed. I cannot express in words how overwhelmed I have been by the amount of love that has been pouring in to me from all directions. A special thanks to the Valley Women's Network (and Caroline Huston along with her 10 year old grandson Dyllan Spencer who SHAVED THEIR HEADS IN DECEMBER!) - this wonderful group raised funds to buy copies of our book to donate to cancer patients!

My health has deteriorated in the past couple of weeks and I have been sleeping for longer periods. This is why many times I have only been able to have family visitors. We have been focusing on enjoying the good moments and not wasting time on worrying what tomorrow may bring. We brought in the English New Year (at 4:00pm Vancouver time). Graham, Paul, Mel, Abby and I celebrated with a glass of sparkling apple juice and ate Purdy's chocolates. It was awesome. Tonight Graham cooked a Sheperds Pie dinner - it was soooo goooooood! Funny how ordinary stuff can be so special when you are living one day at a time. Life these days seems to be more concentrated (and sometimes more constipated!). I still have "miracle cure" on my bucket list and will continue to keep that "miracle window" open - every day that I am still here is a mini-miracle of a cure for today.
