Welcome to my Blog

I chose the title of this blog to go with a Beatles song from 1969. The title made sense in October of 2009 because fighting cancer might be a drawn out challenge. I take inspiration where I can, and hope to motivate with my musings about music, my status and anything else related to life. Anyone can post comments; no sign in or account is needed, just click on the comments section towards the bottom of the post and write me a note. A splendid time is guaranteed for all. Live Happy- Greg

"Policeman's X-Mas Party"

John Ondrasik of Five for Fighting wrote a song about his experiences with the police after his housekeeper and her boyfriend tried to kill the housekeeper's husband at John's house. It's a bit of a jumble, but has some interesting lyrics that might ring true to other law enforcement professional's out there.  :)
Hello to everyone, I hope you survived yet another year of attack ads and all the political fluff. It doesn't get any better, huh? I think the electorate sent a message about the track we are on, hopefully the politicians get that.
On to other things! I am excited to announce that I am working with the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society (the same organization that does the Big Climb) to help raise funds by being an honored patient for a local Team in Training. The team is about to start training for the Victoria B.C. New Balance Half Iron triathlon June 19, 2011. (If I ever get a clearance to start swimming again, I might train for this event too.) I will know more this weekend after we attend a kick off meeting, if you are interested get a hold of me...
My back and neck issues are improving, other than having some bulging discs- I should be fine. I did develop some minor graft versus host disease (skin and mouth irratations) which mean my transplant is working as it is supposed to (no pain no gain). Work is progressing O.K., notwithstanding the bad news this morning that our agency is facing a large budget cut for 2011 due to the voters voting no to a sales tax increase that would've kept our funding intact.

Congrats on being an honored patient for the Team in Training! And yes, you'll be training for triathlons soon. Enjoyed the music post though I couldn't understand the words very well. Yes, very glad elections are over. Budget cuts seem to be the special of the day everywhere, we'll be getting whacked here soon, too. But it seems the last thing we should be cutting is police and teachers.
Hope you are feeling better and stronger every day and this year is MUCH better than last.
love,
Mary D.
