Ready for delivery
2/10/08
People have been asking me if I’m getting excited. Yes! My analogy is to the 9th month of pregnancy. You know that you will suffer with the delivery but you’re ready to get on with it - enough waiting! I still have many things left to do before I fly out to California but I’m feeling that excitement building and want the anxiety of what is going to happen to be behind me, not ahead.
At the same time, I feel so humbled by people’s stories about their dealings with breast cancer, either their own or their friends or relations. It is such a pervasive disease and these women are so brave. It makes this ride seem more of an honor than a personal challenge. I am also humbled by the generous contributions I have received for both the NBCC and the Brattleboro Music Center. Thank you all again and again. I have a long way to go to get to my goal but no matter what amounts I raise, it all helps.
As I was tromping through our beautiful snowy woods today on snowshoes, hot sunshine and the desert seemed very far away. But in less than a month, I will be over the first set of mountains. Wow!
