Week 4 & 5 done!

Happy November! Today is All Saints Day in my faith when we celebrate all saints known & unknown. Saints serve as good role models & mentors in our daily lives. I especially like to reflect on those "everyday saints" in my own life.....those friends who have given so much of their time & talents to help me heal over the last 7 months and those friends who inspire me to be my best. And also those friends who don't judge me, don't engage in gossip, are honest in all they do, listen with their hearts, have an undying positive attitude and a strong faith. These people are saints in my book. Who are the saints in your own life?

14 years ago today, Mark asked me to marry him. It's been a wonderful journey. I can't imagine sharing my life with anyone else. He's amazing! And a Half Ironman!! Last weekend he completed his first Half Ironman triathlon. We are so proud of him.
Rowing is going well. So much to learn & practice, but yet, so much fun! And what a great group of women. I love the time with them on the water. Only 8 more radiation treatments. Hooray! It's dragging on, but I'm almost there. My skin is doing well....pinkish red, but no blisters or pain.
My hair is growing like crazy! Everywhere! Not too much longer and I'll ditch the scarves. It's a funny brownish gray. I hear it will change colors as it grows out. I've never colored my hair and don't really plan to start now. We'll see what happens.

Hope you all had a marvelous Halloween. Here is my crew! Have a great week! Love, srb
