More on Marie

I have know Marie since 2000.

She was our local postmaster

at the time and I was mailing

packages everyday for my website.

We started talking about many

things and we learned we both loved

Martha Stewart and our friendship

blossomed from there.

She is the one that co-hosted with

me our huge Halloween Haunt

and Party in 2002.   Marie got

ovarian cancer in 2003.   Her

condition was bad, and even

though she went through a lot,

she pulled through with grace

and dignity.  I thank God for

her healing.  The doctors were

amazed that she lived past a

year ! (it's been 8 years)

In 2005, after 2 short years,

Marie and 3 friends

participated in the Susan G.

Komen 3 day for the Cure Walk

for 60 miles.

She is an inspiration to many

including myself !

 So if anyone is reading

this and knows someone with

ovarian cancer, have hope that

she can survive and thrive !

September is Ovarian Cancer

Awareness Month.  Friday, September

 30th is Awareness Day and to show

 your support please wear teal.

Taken at our

 Halloween Party

We were both so crazy

and tired that night, but

we talked about doing another

party next year for our

10th anniversary!

God Bless You Marie and

thanks for the memories.

- Look To This Day -

For it is life, the very life

 of life.

In its brief course lie all

 the varieties and realities

 of your existence;

The bliss of growth;

The glory of action;

The splendor of beauty;

For yesterday is already

 a dream,

 and tomorrow is only

 a vision;

But today, well lived,

 makes every yesterday

a dream of happiness,

and every tomorrow

a vision of hope.

Look well, therefore,

 to this day!

Such is the salutation

 of the dawn!

--- From the Sanskrit

This was the sunset on 9-10-11, but

we can pretend it is a new dawn as

I never am up before dawn.   :o)
