Saving...from a song and a dance for you

I know that I haven't blogged in a while and I have great stuff to share. I will soon.....perhaps today. I am saving old blogs right now. I had done this once before but then a "bug" entered our computer and "ate" all its memory this past summer. So I am saving it all again. Thank goodness for my space account or I would have lost them. And in the process I found this song I wrote. It's from the "Sound of Music" and I wrote it when I was on the Yondelis 47....that little Sea Urchin (chemo). 2007 seems so long ago. Three more birthdays I have had since then. And looking forward to the next. Carpe Diem!!

Valet parking and coffee and soft chairs for sitting

Puzzles and free mints and internet visiting

Dozens of doctors poking and prodding

These are a few of my favorite things

Aquariums everywhere and people in masses

Pain Meds and green gowns

And going to CVC classes

IV'S, wheelchairs, and machines with loud dings

These are a few of my favorite things

When the Nausea begins to peak

When the Nuelasta makes you weak

When the headaches make you go mad

I simply remember my favorite things

And then I don't feel so bad

Yummy dinners and phone calls and good company

Long and short visits of loving sympathy

Movies and flowers and warm blankets they bring

These are a few of my favorite things

More pains, confused brains, and no need for sinnin'

Achy bones and sureness that my hair is thinnin'

And I won't mention my pale, shrunken frame

When I remember my favorite things

When the joints ache

When the tears break

When the tiredness appears on a whim

Then I remember the great life I have...

And then I don't feel so bad!!!!!!!!!
