Thankful Journal Day 17

I’m thankful that I’m heading north on this beautiful, bright, sunny Saturday. I’m meeting my mother and driving to Portland for the annual meeting of the Friendship Sloop Society.


It’s a chance to not only get away for 24 hours, but to be with some wonderful friends that I only see two or three times a year. I hope this doesn’t take too much out of me (since it’s the weekend following a chemo treatment). I’ve promised Dave I’ll go slow and easy (and I now he lovingly doesn’t believe that I will). I hope not. I feel like I need and deserve this mini-break from reality.
