The Poer Place: One of my Favorite Days

Today is January 20, 2009, a date that will forever be a part of our history in this nation. As a follower of politics and one interested to a degree in all things historical, I am certainly enjoying following the events of this great day.

AND, today I am taking my 6th and final BIG round of chemo. Feels pretty good! Although realistically I may need chemo again someday, at least this is it FOR NOW!! Thanks so much to everybody for everything...especially the thoughts and prayers! I have no doubt at all of their significance in this journey.

FINALLY, January 20th has long been a great day for me. It started on what was a cold Saturday in January during my senior year in high school. Late in the day on this dreary weathered day, my life was forever changed: I became an AUNT! I had no way of knowing how altered my life would be. I consider myself so very fortunate and blessed to have seven wonderful nieces and nephews (four more counting those acquired when I married).
One of the coolest parts about these awesome young individuals is that they all possess their own uniqueness! Our family is never boring! And, my children are so fortunate to be the youngest of their cousins – on both sides!
