Words to Live By: Weeks 38, 39, & 40

My friend Jeanine is surviving and thriving after breast cancer.

Wow...  Has it really been three weeks?!  Holy smokes.  A lot has happened  since Week 37...  For instance, I got a bad case of the stomach virus that incapacitated me for a few days.  Getting sick definitely through me off my creative schedule.  I feel like I am just now getting back into the swing of things as far as my art is concerned.  But enough about me...

Jeanine and I got together the first week in March to have a long deserved Girl's Night and watched Spring Awakening at the DPAC.  Despite being pumped to see the show after receiving several assurances from others that the musical was amazing, it fell short of our expectations.  The cast was definitely talented and the music was very entertaining, but the story just did nothing for us.  C'est la vie.  (To make up for it, we're planning to have another Girl's Night with our fellow Patten women to see Wicked in Charlotte.  Yippee!)

During the second week of March, Jeanine had to go to the doctor to get some tests run for recurring head pain.  After many tests, nothing could be pin pointed to explain the headache-like symptoms.  In the spirit of looking for the silver lining, at least the doctor didn't find anything serious.  But it still pains me that she has to experience any pain or discomfort.

Last week, Jeanine took her son to his first middle school dance.  Can you believe it?  My, how time flies.  I remember when Jake was just a wee little lad when Jason and I first started dating.  Now he's taller than me and growing into quite a handsome young man.  I know that he is one of Jeanine's greatest accomplishments and inspirations in life.

Here's to hoping many good things for Jeanine in April and the months to come.
