I’ve been on a different journey this month of June. It has involved trips to the doctor’s office and to the hospital for same day surgery. My activities have been more geared toward self-reflection and wondering what life might become if my health is compromised.

I’m happy to say that as we head into July, that my little cancer scare is over. I have been given a clean bill of health and am breathing a sigh of relief. I feel very lucky.

I also feel it’s time to shrug off the distractions of these last several weeks and focus on what I love – my writing, traveling . . . and of course, time with family, friends and my two sweet dogs. The “boys” are great cuddlers when life feels a bit precarious.

In case anyone wondered, today I just wanted to say, “I’m still here!” Have a wonderful weekend and in the days ahead, I’ll be writing more about some of the wonderful places I’ve been fortunate to visit. Ciao!
