This struck me like lightning as I read the first sentences (I’ve been a walking bag of anxiety preparing to leave for our winter place) then again when you spoke about feeling old and un-beautiful (and thereby wrote the undercurrent of my thoughts in recent months) to mourning a loved one (anniversaries of deaths of both my mother and father comin’ up in a couple weeks) and cancer (have a biopsy Friday morning). Good grief. I can soooo relate. And I wish for you that all your tasks tomorrow go smoothly, that your journey to that magical place is calm and smooth, and that you have the MOST wonderful time in Cozumel with your MOST wonderful husband. Im beaming loving thoughts to you, Ms Moon!Joyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00689105159583465606noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2086296370004835655.post-70413096941251299262018-12-18T15:42:00.307-05:002018-12-18T15:42:00.307-05:00So sorry about the pre-trip anxiety, but I underst...So sorry about the pre-trip anxiety, but I understand completely. I'm sure once you get there you will have a wonderful time. Can you do a mail hold online? I used it once when I ran out of those hold cards you can leave in the box, and it was easy.<br /><br />I thought of Kathleen fondly this morning, and with some sadness, because I was reading a wonderful article about advancements in cancer treatment with DNA specific drugs and immunotherapy, and wished it hadn't been too late for her. She should still be on the planet, smiling.<br /><br />Here's the article link for your spare time lol: (it says it's a 16 minute read but I didn't time myself.)<br /><br />https://www.nationalgeographic.com/magazine/2019/01/personalized-medicine-transforming-your-health-care/?<br /><br />We leave for Florida the 28-3rd to see JJ Gray and walk some beaches. I can't wait for sunshine and sand to start my new year. I'll look out at the water and think happy thoughts for us both.<br /><br />xo<br />Melhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10114884092474969555noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2086296370004835655.post-35846228033225707022018-12-18T11:16:49.373-05:002018-12-18T11:16:49.373-05:00(I just realized that probably sounds patronizing ...(I just realized that probably sounds patronizing as hell.

It seems terribly important to get everything sorted in advance but the fact is, as long as you remember your passport, pretty much everything else is secondary. That's a slight exaggeration but only slight.<br /><br />I can't wait until you're relaxing on that Cozumel shore, staring out at that beautiful water and petting Bagheera!Steve Reedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11684120060438252945noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2086296370004835655.post-45128177648691014282018-12-18T11:13:23.710-05:002018-12-18T11:13:23.710-05:00Calm down Ms Moon!
