Hi All<br />
Thought I would check in today since I finally have a couple of hours free.  For everyone in need of healing - you are in my prayers for a speedy and complete recovery.  Everyone preparing for new journeys whether cruises, land trips or new homes I pray that they will be fun and stress free (well one can dream).  And to everyone else I wish you a great and uncomplicated weekend filled with fun and that you accomplish all that you desire.  <br />

I just heard some wonderful news - my friend in Pittsburgh has just gone through a successful operation to remove a malignant tumor from her sciatic nerve.  After months of chemo and radiation to reduce the size of the tumor they were able to completely remove it - they needed to also remove six inches of the nerve.  The greatest fear was that she would be wheelchair bound -- now even though her foot and calf are numb -- they have determined that with sufficient support she will be able to walk.  That news really makes me feel good and I like to think that my prayers and the positive energy I tried to convey to her has had some small part in the successful outcome.  I&#39;m sure that her positive and upbeat attitude were the key.<br />

Between my job and all my volunteer &quot;jobs&quot; I have been a bit overwhelmed for the entire month of March and April will be almost as busy.  Heading for a AFT Higher Education Meeting in Portland Oregon on Wednesday - DH will be going with me since we haven&#39;t been to Portland before - so we have a few days before the conference to explore.  We return on the Red Eye on Sunday evening - get to Philadelphia about 6:30 AM on Monday-- The first Passover Seder is Monday evening - Suanne of Suanne and Harvey will be hosting us that night - most other years we are the host family.  I will try to put some thing together for the 2nd Seder on Tuesday evening.  See I told you it was unending activity and Thank God it is all good.<br />
<br />
I will leave for a Union Luncheon and Executive Board meeting at the College&#39;s smaller campus in Pottstown, PA in a few minutes and my quiet time will be over.  But then again  guess I wouldn&#39;t want it any other way.<br />
<br />
Once again everyone have a great day and an even better weekend.[/size]
