Thankful

I am thankful for my husband who loves me for who I am.

I am thankful for my kids who have grown old enough to appreciate my humor.

I am thankful for my family -- they are who I am.

I am thankful for friends who laugh at my jokes.

I am thankful for my dogs who love me despite living with me and seeing who I really am.

I am thankful for the second career as a teacher -- I will matter.

I am thankful for people who believe in me -- they make me realize I matter.

I am thankful for today. I am thankful for right now.

I am thankful for yesterday -- it made us who we are.

Wishing you a blessed Thanksgiving. May you have much to be grateful for!

oh and...... please take care...

Not quite endometrial specific, but darn close! Endometrial cancer is the version that took my mom. My view is that curing ANY cancer brings us closer to curing ALL cancer. My OBGYN informed me that even with my family history I have a better chance of getting breast cancer than uterine cancer (which is what took my mother). Do you check yourself monthly? Please do! I'm a two for one deal -- Dad has joined the cancer club too. He picked a more treatable one thankfully! His treatment went well thus far -- may all men remember to get their PSA tests. Early detection = early cure! I'm adding the breast cancer version because I had an abnormal mammogram. Girls, please get your girls checked! I get to wait 6 months for another mammo to check my calcification situation.... Worst case scenario I will be a poster child for early detection. Be sure to go to the best possible facility for your mammogram. My 2nd opinion films showed me the difference... it is worth the drive to go to a higher quality center!
