You Have Cancer {Repost}
A close friend was diagnosed with breast cancer today. As I listened to her sob over the phone, I wished I could be there to hold her hand, embrace her, and let her know that I understand what she’s going through.

Be prepared to be incredibly bored…. 06:15 Wake up 06:30 Drive the kids to the bus stop 06:35~07:00 Watch a variety of news programs; I start with Fox News, flip to CNN then land on The Daily Buzz (Fox bothers me because of the political and familial nepotism, CNN rocks it out with their music snippets but I get bored with the small talk) 07:00~08:00 Watch The Early Show; during an Estee Lauder commercial I’m reminded again of the wonder and whimsy that is Regina Specktor’s voice. 08:00~08:30 Watch All in the Family ~ that show is classic, the humor dead on and the topics still applicable today. 08:30~10:30 Go…
