Happy Monday folks. I hope the weekend was lovely and the weather, wherever you were, didn’t put too much of a damper on your holiday plans. We had a nice sized snowstorm that got Jack out in the snow (after a while he started to like it) and the family out shoveling and clearing the cars together. The Dear Twins were less than amused, but they were happy when I gave them their 2009 Christmas ornaments to hang on the tree. It’s the little things that bring the smiles back.
Now I pride myself on keeping things real here on KwanaWrites while not giving too much away and not being too much of a downer (if I can at all help it). It’s a fine balance because if I really let loose I’m sure I’d be inundated with comments wondering if I truly am crazy at times.
I’ve been grappling with writing this post for quite a while and for quite a few reasons, one I didn’t want to get too personal and two I wanted to have my children feeling ok with what was happening.
But a lovely post from Mable’s House gave me some of the courage I needed to sharpen the focus and lift the veil (you can tell me in the comments if you get the poster reference).
This year has been a very trying one for me and my family in all sorts of ways that has put my patience, faith and maybe even sanity at times (I do have teens) to the test in oh so many ways.
This photo was taken in the office of the third breast procedure that I’ve had in the past five months. I love the messages of optimism and hope of them.
Now the happy news is all my biopsies so far have come back benign and I’m thrilled about that, but today I’m having surgery to hopefully get a definitive answer.
So I’m asking all of you, my lovely and cherished friends, for your prayers and positive energy. It’s been a long road with this weighing on my mind and heart but I hope to start 2010 in a better mindset with this problem off my shoulders and ready to be a strong and healthy, mom, wife, friend, writer. Me.
Thanks in advance.

And Wow! According to the counter this is my 700th post. 7 the number of completion. Now that is saying something isn’t it?

PS: I'm a huge proponent of vitamin D, as you may have noticed. If you haven't already, you may want to check out the relationship between low levels (as someone with dark skin in an upper latitude state, unless you spend a lot of time in the sun, you may have very low levels) and breast cancer here: http://www.vitamindcouncil.org/cancerBreast.shtml
I'll be crossing my fingers for you too. All my love to you and your family.
Amen sister!
Fear is the opposite of LOVE indeed~

Oh sweet Kawana...I am sending happy thoughts your way. I've even shoveled a path at the shore house to ensure they make their way to you. :-)
Keep smiling, my dear...xo, Laura
I have vacation brain, and totally missed this post yesterday! My contribution to the positive energy and vibes campaign have officially been marked "rush delivery."
Dearest Kwana,
I'm only reading this post now and already saw in a later post that you are now home recovering from your recent surgery, but I want you to know that I'm thinking of you and sending you positive, healing energy and love.
xoxo
