Tuesday May 20, 2008

Best Part of the Day-
Will-O and I have officially registered for a triathlon (a mini, mind you) this July.  It's good to have a date to shoot for (I am not the best trainer unless I have a date) --something on the books. Exciting.  I am looking forward to the whole process--and doing it TOGETHER.

Worst Part of the Day-
My mom has had another friend succumb to cancer.  The funeral was today.  It is awful to think of...there seems to be many women from our home town who are at one point vibrant pictures of health--never smokers, seldom drinkers, routine exercisers, consumers of fresh/organic foods, etc.  It seems these women feel strong and positive when they are initially diagnosed with cancer.  Then less than 2 years later, the cancer wins.  
It seems to me there is something pervasive and toxic in our environment...why are the healthiest people getting cancer?  Why are there Cancer Treatment Centers all over the place? What is going on?  It is disheartening.
