HAPPY BIRTHDAY to ME

It's my birthday! I'm 63 - yee gawds, how did that happen?? I'm bald - I know how that happened! I have breast cancer, am having enough hot flashes to explain global warming, am getting nasty chemo treatments, and I'm a happy camper!

I have an incredible circle of friends around me, lifting me up when I'm down, cheering me on, making me laugh, plying me with love and gifts - huge cuddly stuffed critters, gorgeous plants and tropical flowers, live wiggly critters (a Lobstergram for my birthday!), chocolate and giggles, a gift card for a wig from my bestest pals in the Platinum Set of Hawaii days, cards and hugs and pictures and laughs every day in my email box, encouraging comments in this silly blog (Patty, who are you??), pals lining up to keep me company thru the summer of chemo treatments, and my marvelous Silver Fox who has held my hand thru this whole ordeal when he barely knew my name when it hit! What more could I ever ask for?

Happy Birthday to me!
