October 11, 2007

It's autumn and I love it. We have a high of 61 degrees in KC today. Last night it got down to 37 degrees. Last time I wrote I mentioned that my sister Dee and I were going on a retreat to Arizona. Well we had a great time. The focus was on spiritual growth. It was very inspiring. We enjoyed wonderfully prepared raw, vegan food each meal. We spent time hiking, reading, and learning. We had the opportunity to attend daily yoga classes and nightly prayer and meditation sessions.
We hope to be able to incorporte what we learned into our daily lives. Sometimes that is difficult in this fast, convenients oriented society in which we live.

All is well in the Curley household. We have been enjoying the Friday night high school football games & watching the kids activities. Bonnie with dance and cheerleading and Brian with soccer. Napper and I will celebrate our 14th wedding anniversary this month. We plan to take an afternoon off and go to the plaza, have lunch, do a little shopping, and just hang out. There is a wonderful vegan rest. there that we both love.

As for me, I am terrific. I continue to feel great. I had a CT scan of my chest yesterday with good results. I do have scar tissue in both my upper right and upper left lungs but that is to be expected. I also have a morning cough, but once I clear the fluid collection to the scarred areas, I am pretty much cough free the rest of the day. I am working 3-4 days per week and just loving life. I continue to feel extremely blessed and thankful.

We are looking forward to our trip in November to San Francisco. Napper's business partner and his family have many exciting things planned for us. The kids are also excited. They HAVE been to California, but they were too little to remember. So it will be a new adventure for them.

Love and many blessing to you all,

Denise
