YIPPEE!

YIPPEE! That is a great word to use in Lent when you can't say Alleluia! After 7 months of surgery, chemo, and radiation, I am standing in the light, hopeful, and moving on! I still have follow-up dr. appts. I think those will go on forever with the oncologist. But for now, I will just say it again....YIPPEE! Thanks for that word MB. It perfectly describes how I feel. Like I just made it to the top of the hill, and now I am coasting downhill, not too fast, a nice gentle speed, YIPPEE!

In my joy, I also remember today that Rick is undergoing another surgery to try to fix his ankle. And our friend Alan is with his family getting ready to bury his mother. Suzie Longo is recuperating from surgery for recurring cancer. Theresa's young patient is facing a long battle too. So many thoughts and prayers are lifting all of them today.

Well what can you say about young David A. on Idol? God gave it to him, and he is using it beautifully and joyfully. He has a great future in the recording/entertaining field. So do a few others. David H. came out strong last night too. He was on my orginal list of 6 from Hollywood week. But then again so was my gal Joann. I missed Ramiele....don't even remember her, but I will be anxious to see her tonight. She got the top girl spot for me last week. Lots of those girls are very talented. But they all must already know the power of David A. as an entertainer.
