    Red  -yes much work and with chemo brain, no small feat to keep all the details on track.  We are having a walk in 3 different sites. The orgamization I manage serves individuals living with a physical disability. 

    I am grateful that I made it to zumba tonight after a very long work day

    I love the photo - I wish we could all get together for lunch!

    Hello everyone, I am so far behind. Grateful for BCO for without this site I wouldn't have made such wonderful friends from all over the USA, we did LA sightseeing on Sunday, had an absolutely fantastic get together on Monday,  Tuesday we toured the OC, Wednesday made it to Santa Barbara and  met more friends for lunch and toured the Mission then drove California Hwy 1 to Monterey which was long and arduous, lots of twists and turns  but we saw some spectacular scenery and some elephant seals and a whale, poor Badger didn't feel too well when we finally reached our destination as she was in the way back seat of the van but she is better today, then today we toured Carmel and Monterey and made it to San Francisco and NatsFan joined us, all if this because one day I found a website called BCO and joined.

    Day 7:  Grateful for lunch with Dad.  He put up with a super meltdown I had yesterday and spent time at my house and then lunch.  I will always be a Daddy's girl.  He raised that bar too high.  

    Also, I had a delicious bit of salmon, but would have had haddock.  I just discovered this a few months ago.  Growing up, flounder was the white fish of choice for my folks.  I hated it.  After a nibble of haddock, I'm hooked.  Pun.  Tilapia?  RedReading, you are going to be in deep trouble with that son of yours.  :)  I'll bet you raised him right.  Wow.  Another pun.

    That picture looks amazing.  Maybe the tour will bring you around New England sometime soon.  

    Congratulations, Jazzygirl, on getting your work done!  Hard work deserves sweet rewards.

    G'night.

    6/6- grateful to be through a busy friday and looking forward to swimming in awhile. I felt very overwhelmed today with things that needed to get done, but got through a lot and feel good about that.

    Day 8:  Grateful for another day with Dad.  Trying to find a new car and he's such a help, he is my lifeline.

    Also, grateful for the have-a-heart trap to help relocate Pepe-le Phew 2.0.  Thought I was skunk free after the

    first one, but oh no.  They seem to enjoy my home.  I'm thinking they might find a new home in another area.

    I too am grateful for a wonderful fun and laughter filled day in San Francisco.

    Onco the Mods have a thread where they have created all kinds of things for get togethers, I downloaded it from there, sent the link to Staples and had it  made, it was so easy to do.

    Grateful that the unrelenting pain in my neck has finally gone away sans painkillers.  May it stay away for good.

    June 8

    What on earth happened to my post from yesterday evening? Hmmm. Darned computer gremlins!

    Today I am grateful for an early morning game of golf with my DH, then lunch with him and my mother at the club. She came back to the house with us and had a bath - she lives in a retirement community where they only have showers. She loves her baths. It was a rainy afternoon, so I just did laundry and lazed on the couch for an hour or so. Nice day!

    Grateful that DH and I sang a duet in church yesterday a capella and stayed in pitch.  We get such joy from singing together.  Also grateful that we had my husband's son and his wife in for the week-end.   They are such a wonderful young couple.

    Day 9:  Grateful that I had a lovely time at a graduation party.  I met some wonderful, joyous people there.  

    Incredibly grateful that while I had a bad haircut, I have hair. I never truly realized how much whining about a bad hair day or a hair cut/color, etc. is so trivial.  I have experienced through another health condition my hair falling out in chunks, but, this is a whole new level of appreciation for having hair on my head.  And not caring if I missed a blazing trail of fur on my legs when I went to that party.  I was consumed with maintaining these things while I was younger and healthier, but, I'm just thankful, now.  

    Day 10:  Grateful for the Red Sox winning.  John Lackey is the man.  I am so grateful for baseball and how it just mesmerizes me and the passion it brings me.  Anxiety, too, but that's the game.  Go Sox!

    Day 11:  Grateful for a day to just not think or do.  I might put some music on and I'll watch the game.  Maybe I'll follow Jazzygirl and get some purging done, but hopefully not.  :)  Quiet is nice.

    OncoWarrior:  I hope your daughter is getting better and better.  I am so sorry that the both of you are going through this.

    Thanks for the great picture.  Nice to keep putting faces to those names.

    Great picture, Red. The get-togethers are the most fun ever!!

    Onco. grateful that your DD is doing okay. Very scary!

    I'm a couple days behind: I am grateful for my once in a life time California trip; all the neat BCO ladies I met, and all the fun things I got to see and do.

    Now I am grateful to be safely home, and also grateful that the carpet cleaner guy was here this afternoon!

    Grateful that I had a meal already in the freezer, didn't feel like cooking so it was nice to just pop it in the oven. Onco glad your DD is okay.

    Today I am grateful for sparkly nails and a calm relaxing coffee before work. My DH is a dynamo - today he went golfing early, so I got to have my coffee with my dog. Nobody buzzing around doing things before I'm even awake. Lol

    I am just grateful for all the wonderful people who have come into my life recently.  It seems that whenever there is a need of some type, the right person appears to help me.  I would put the awesome ladies who post on these threads to be in that category as well.

    Day 12:  Grateful for another day with Dad.  This might sound repetitive, but I count every single one as so special.  I also am Blessed to have the best allergy doctor in the entire planet.  He shared a joke with me and printed it out.  I love him.  And the Red Sox are winning right now.  Please keep winning!
