FREE HUGS!!!! Happy Thanksgiving!

There are so many things I have to be thankful for today. I have always said I am the richest person I know. When it comes to family and friends, I have the most beautiful people in my life. I may not have a lot in the bank, but if I had my choice, I'd choose relationships over money any day - and I guess I have!

I'm thankful for the experience of going through cancer...it has taught me a lot, and continues to do so. And I'm even more grateful for knowing, even from the beginning that cancer didn't define me.

I'm grateful for the opportunity to have my surgery in Boston, at one of the best medical facilities in the world, and to have saved at least one if not two surgeries in the process.

I'm grateful there were no nodes involved. It could have been so much worse.

I'm grateful for the amazing healers I had in my life that I could turn to when I needed them most - to Joe Rogers in Salem, MA, Michael Wayne in Saratoga, and Wayne Hogan in Mechanicville.

I'm grateful to have found Dr Stram, and so anxious to see him next week.

I'm grateful to the many people who helped me find doctors and supported me in my quest to find a balance between alternative and western medicine.

I'm grateful for the many hugs I shared that lifted my spirits.

I'm grateful for the love I received from so many.

I'm grateful for the knowledge I already had about alternative medicine, about healing from within, and for the opportunity to do even more research online. If I had this years ago, I would not have the resources I have today.

I'm grateful for having such a wonderful man by my side to support me every step of the way.

I'm grateful my kids have been so supportive of my medical choices even when it meant trucking me to Boston a couple of times, and even though they had some concerns about my not doing chemo.

I'm grateful there are people that cared enough about me to read my blog!

I'm grateful for other cancer patients who have shared their stories with me, especially Darcy, my favorite boss ever, and now dear friend, Joe and Larry, my former classmates, Glenn, and Jenn. Your stories are my stories, and you have blessed me with the sharing.

As I said on fb yesterday, I wish i could just hug everyone.....so here is a youtube clip that I hope makes you feel "hugged".
Much love to all - be sure to watch this - it's great!
Happy Happy Thanksgiving.
