Well, it’s almost 7 am and becaue I felt so drained yesterday I laid down for a brief nap @ 3;30 and I didn’t wanke up until after 9pm. That was much more than a nap. So, of course it ruined my nights sleep and with the only exception being a 2 hour interval where I did fall back to sleep. But, I truly have gotten alot done. and after fixing myself a hot cup of green tea, I just sat and watched my beautiful Christmas tree, it’s beautiful lights with the majority of the ornaments being mostly of ad orable ornaments that my kids made in Santa’s workship, then every year, I would always go and let them picj out their own ornament. AS I think back over the years of past Chtistmas’ I get a bit sappy, for I do love tradition, decorating for the holidays. And, every year at this time I am so very thankful that GOD just isn’t ready for me. I love life, and with the exception of lack of calcium in my teens & early 20’s which resulted in osteoporosis. So, please all of your young gals please don’t let it catch up on you. I’d like to wish everyuone a very Happy Holiday and for anyoone in the hospital, I know that Brooke is for sure, please know that my thoughts & prayers and with you. I am so very thankful to be here and stable, material things are just not impotrtant anymore. I have found that your priorities & goals really change once your life is truly in crisis. I was able to puchase Kris Carr’s book today, though I have just skimmed throughir so fat, I plan on starting it today.
Meeerry Chriatmas to all. Hugs, Patty:)

Thanks for your support -
Hey Patty! It has started to really snow here. Kinda nice treat for the holidays. I got your card. Thank you sooo much. It is hanging on my card tree. Getting something in the mail was a nice surprise. Hope you are staying warm over there in Illinois.
Dear Patti,
I’ve just this morning stumbled onto your blog by doing a Google search. I’m a caregiver for my wife since April of 2006. Small cell lung cancer. After chemo and radiation, she’s stable and lives by the motto, there is no day but today. She’s in a wheelchair, and travel is quite difficult for her. From her I’ve learned some wonderful life lessons.
We have a son who was diagnosed with CML in June of 2001. He’s struggling mightily with host-vs-graft and depression. He was 41 on 11/11/07. Patti, what does hellip mean? Please overlook my newness. BTW, there are no cancer support groups anywhere close to us. I guess “blog for a cure” can be my support group.
