Have you had your mammo lately??

I rather like October. It's fall. The air feels different. Leaves are changing. Ok, well, as much as they can in this area of the world. I always say that we don't really have seasons here...just summer and something colder than summer. But it does feel like fall and I like that. It's a nostalgic time of year. The older I get, the more I can feel the seasons in the pit of my soul. yeah.

But it's October and it's Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Every grocery store and department store and probably just about every company in America has some sort of offer to support the cause. Offers from m & m's and Estee Lauder and Coach and Brighton, just to name a few. It's become a giant commercial circus, but it's okay with me. Every dollar that's raised for cancer research and the awareness that sends women to the big boob-squishing machine is worth the sometimes tacky commercialism of October.

Cancer, mine especially, has been on my mind a lot lately. Not exactly sure why. (could it be that there are pink ribbons in my face everywhere I go? or because I have tests this week?) Whatever it is, I'm generally more optimistic than last year and I'll just take it a day at a time.

I didn't want this post to be all about pink ribbons and BC; I haven't written in such a long while. I've certainly got lots more to say. But, I'll close. again. Perhaps I'll feel inspired another day.

Hugs to all my friends out there....
