What is up with me


Hi, just wanted to let my Baja buddies know what's up with me now, you can read about it on my blog here, good news is that I am recovering well and hope to get back down there soon! Save some cerveza for me.

If a man walks in the woods for love of them half of each day, he is in danger of being regarded as a loafer. But if he spends his days as a speculator, shearing off those woods and making the earth bald before her time, he is deemed an industrious and enterprising citizen. Henry David Thoreau

I am happy to hear you are recovering. You definitely have your age on your side. My Father wasn't so lucky, which makes me happy for everyone with a good prognosis since life is such a good thing. Get well, and get back to Baja when you are able to.

Keep your chin up girl...


I did the cancer surgery thing last year. I don't have much advice except to suggest that there are so many psych. elements to it that you may find yourself with attitude changes. I had lived much of my life saying "life is short, eat dessert first." Now I am more likely to say "life is short, I'll have the sugar free jello please." The experience has made my life richer. (laproscopic radical nephrectomy) Good luck and richest blessings on you sister.

I admire your sense of humor. And I bet your attitude will be a BIG factor in a quick return to life as normal. Something we all should keep in mind. Thanks for setting a good example.

Marla, So sad to hear of your unexpected adventure and so happy to hear you are recovering nicely. Your kids have grown so much since I've seen them. They look wonderful. Hopefully for part of your recovery you can make a small visit to Baja and come visit us again. Bless you and your family ,k

How scary.

Although, my best friend has had a couple of brain tumors removed over the years and they were benign. No trace of anything any more.

The toughest part is the mental. And you seemed to have licked that.
