Stay tuned for pictures of today's swim on my Facebook page. https://www.facebook.com/onewomanmanylakes?fref=ts
In the meantime it seems like good time to revisit what to say to someone with cancer--blogs # 7 and # 8 were earlier posts about this sensitive topic. Several people have expressed feelings of being uncomfortable and don't want to end up with their size 9 in their mouth.
About 95% of the time the words are comforting and uplifting, however, (and this isn't you) sometimes the brain and the words get discombobulated and leaves both parties feeling a bit pi$$ed, foolish, trite, stupid, etc. etc. etc.
My daughter-in-law and son found a series of cards made by Emily McDowell, a woman with cancer, and sent me the first of many in the collection. Brilliant idea and because sharing is caring, here's the first one.
Her web page is emilymcdowell.com if you'd like to purchase some of these gems.
