I have returned from a wonderful trip of travel to the mainland visiting family and friends in three states, spending Christmas, New Years and my Birthday! I celebrated my birthday between two states and four days. I am with friends Cj and Susan, Friday morning in Vancouver Washington standing in front of their fireplace. 
Upon my return that evening to San Jose, California my son had arranged a birthday celebration at one of my favorite San Jose restaurants, Original Joe's. My cousin really surprised me showing up with her hubby. Julie is currently in chemo treatment for Breast Cancer and hadn't been in a public place in months because of a weakened immune system.
There were many moments of the best of times and memories created with the most important people in my life. I am grateful for another year of hope, healing and love!
