I know that started this brilliant idea so I wanted to carry it on for her and as the forum has become a little gloomy recently as we face loosing them both soon.
So
1. daloni and dizzie outlasted their prognosis by years and I am sure proved that you can have quality of life despite doctors best guesses and we all benefited from knowing them on here.
2. I just got back from a fabulous holiday in Galicia, northern Spain. I walked more than I have for months (chemo pushed me into a wheelchair) the food and wine was fab and I met old friends and laughed a lot.
3. Macmillan have admitted that their upgrade has been a bit sh*t and are working on improving it. Hurrah for Macmillan who have admitted it didn't go well. How many organisations actually come out and say that.
I don't like to think that newbies think that we are a miserable lot, what struck me on here when I came was how much joy, laughter and living went on despite cancer.

The massive Prince of Wales aircraft carrier leaving Portsmouth Harbour to Sunday 12.00 A rare sight at this vantage point in Gosport. The last time I saw an aircraft carrier at the entrance was 1982, during the Falklands war when my dear dad was still here and I was much younger, witnessing ArK Royal leaving. It seems like yesterday but for 39 Years ago.
1 / Remembering my beautiful dad
2/ I was just 18
3/ Being grateful for the life I have had because many people died in wars including the Falklands.
take care every one.

I was taken to the New Forest today in Hampshire. Here I am trying to tree hug a giant redwood aka Sequioia tree...its too big!. Apparently planted in 1860 and is 300 feet tall.
Three take home points.
Make each day count because no one knows what tomorrow will.bring.
Gratitude amongst nature.
Knowing limits. Ive noticed how fatigued I get these days. I used to hike and was physically very fit. Ive lost alot of weight in the legs so I dont have the same stamina.
Take care
wow what tree! It looks more like giving it reiki than hugging. Wise words in the rest of your post.
