Gorgeous day!

I've been taking it easy today, but I did have one errand to run so I drove to Berkeley to do it. The weather is just perfect, I didn't even need a sweater with my t-shirt. Seems like everything I smelled was good, whether it was someone's fragrance walking down the street or the scent of food cooking from a lunch place.

I am thinking about walking Bella . . . I just hope I'm not biting off more than I can chew.

On Thursday I will be having an intake interview with an organization called Circle of Care. I was referred to them through the Women's Cancer Resource Center because I need to find a place which has group therapy for kids with a sick parent. I've been putting this off for too long - Heshy said he wanted to be in a group (he's been in group therapy before) like this because, while he may not need it so much, he's sure to be able to help other kids through the crisis.

My sister, Sheila, and her partner, Sheri, are coming up from Palm Springs for the long President's Day weekend. I should be feeling fairly well, it will be the between weekend for me, with the final infusion scheduled for 2/24. My kids adore their aunties, and the feeling is quite mutual. I know Sheri will be thrilled to be able to do active things with the kids, and maybe she'll be able to finally teach Heshy how to ride his bike. Walt tried many times with no success because Heshy had to argue and discuss the whole time. Sheri, having a lifetime of experience with kids, first as a teacher and then as a school administrator, knows just what to do to have Heshy learn without the B.S. . . . in fact, if I remember correctly, it was Aunt Sheri who taught Avi how to ride, too.

I know that Sheila loves the Merritt, my favorite family restaurant, so I have a feeling I'll get to eat there more than once while they are here.

I'm feeling fairly content, which is not how I usually feel these days, so I'm going to sit here and enjoy the moment.

Pray for happiness and contentment.
