Gosh it's been a while since I visited this thread. So much going on... And all of it so positive and uplifting...

Grace, happy belated birthday!! I hope my news uplifts your spirits as it has uplifted mine!! I am scheduled to undergo a 12 hour surgery Thursday morning... Yes, the count down is here. I've been a busy little bee, putting together all the positive audio (music, and audiobooks) on my IPod so that I can listen nonstop in the ICU so I don't have to worry about my vision, or reading and can focus on healing.

No fear about the surgery. Funny I guess, but I feel completely empowered to reassure my surgeons that everything will be fine. hahaha ... There is just knowingness – I’m not done living. I am more certain than ever that one day I will take my daughter and we will experience together the swelling magic of a live performance of Boris Godunov.

Today I cry listening to the climax of Boris Godunov. As always when I tear up, my right eye swells with tears, but my left eye stays dry. But what is unusual about today is that minutes later after my right eye has dried up, a single tear falls down the left side of my face. Every time.

Delayed reaction, I suppose.... That or my eye just wants to be a little stubborn!!! But REAL TEARS for the first time in over a year ALMOST on command!!!

I am so blessed by all the positive enregies you are sending my way!!! Pamela said that I was included on the Mastermind project as well.... Thank you thank you thank you.... I am just so grateful....

MUCH LOVE TO ALL!!!
