What a Great Saturday

How do you like my new look? This is GI Val! Can't wear it outside, because it's too cold, but I'll be able to in Florida :-)

I had a great day today, went to "The Gathering Place"  I guess it's like a community center for people with cancer.  I met some really wonderful people and just had a real nice time. 

The weather was not to good this morning, it was snowing and the raods were slippery in places, but by this afternoon, everything was fine.  There's some kind of program on the weather channel, but I'll turn it back on in a little while and see what tomorrow is supposed to be like.  I might take the bus down to the shopping center by Whole Foods.  I don't really care about going shopping, but there isn't too much else to do that's inside and easy to get to.  I have to find an alternate method to get to the Gathering Place, because I could enjoy spending the day there several times a week, but it's rather far away, so the cab fare is prohibitive.  But I've no doubt I'll find another way there.  It's nice being able to hang out with people that have either gone through the same sort of things or are going through them now.  That's the funny (strange) thing about cancer, it makes a lot of people really uncomfortable, they don't know what to say so it makes for a rather awkward situation or they just avoid you altogether!  I was hoping that was the sort of environment the Gathering Place would provide, but it surpassed my greatest hopes.  I just can't wait to go back there.  Well, I think I'm going to sign off now, it's almost my bedtime (8:30 PM)!  So sweet dreams everyone and I'll speak with you tomorrow!  Good night.
