{Thank you very, very much for your kind words yesterday about my spill. I am feeling remarkably better today; I went for an x-ray yesterday. Thankfully nothing is broken, just sprained. After a great night’s sleep and good swim this morning, I am less sore and much happier. And! A friend fixed Ruby’s handlebars for me, so we’re that much closer to hitting the open road again.}
This weekend I celebrated a friend’s triumphant defeat over leukemia. When receiving chemotherapy, she was given 1,000 origami cranes as an inspiration to keep fighting. (The story of how origami cranes and leukemia are linked is pretty incredible and worth a read.)
Soon enough, she was planning how she would create 1,000 cranes for others being treated for leukemia as soon as she was out of the hospital. The cranes did the trick; Judy’s optimism became infectious.
We celebrated her recovery with an Asian-themed party this weekend. I brought a crane bag (lined with one of my favorite verses) to ready her for her return to work, and Asian spring rolls.
Today, I am especially thankful for modern medicine.
