I am a widow since 2013 and live by myself in a small apartment. I use a wheelchair to get around, but I wouldn't consider myself disabled. I'm 11 years away from having bladder cancer resulting in a urostomy and I'm doing well. This cancer was a result of having radiation in 1995 because of uterine cancer. So have faith in yourself, a cancer diagnosis is not a death sentence. My first try at blogging was an attempt to help other people with my condition. I am a mother of three married children, and a grandmother to eight gorgeous kids, featuring them often here, and a great grandmother to two as of today, 6/7/25! I enjoy exploring my feelings and like to try the challenges. I like humor, music, movies, games, and some sports. I absolutely appreciate your reading and commenting on my blog. I am happy to read all of your blogs and learn more about you. Please comment however you like, ask whatever, and I'll answer honestly. Thanks for reading! Cheryl

Sunlight shone into the jury box as they led the defendant, in handcuffs, into his seat. The chainsaw was sitting prominently, still bloody, on the nearby table of evidence, along with the lumberjack competition trophy, a newly purchased passport, a well worn pair of hunter’s binoculars, and a plane ticket stub. Joe was definitely guilty but secretly, he knew in his heart that he was justified in killing the attacking bear. The only thing was, he killed a widely known bear that was under protection from the Fish and Game Wildlife Department.

This was the toughest set of cubes ever🫣

1. What motivates you to work hard? A feeling of accomplishment afterwards.

2. It’s been said “Ignorance is bliss”…is it? I suppose it is for some but I would rather have the knowledge.

3.Would you rather be stuck on a broken elevator or a broken ski lift? Explain. Have you ever actually been stuck on either? Of the common fears listed here what’s your #1-heights-enclosed spaces-snakes-public speaking-the dark-flying? The ski lift because I am claustrophobic. My jacket caught on a ski lift and it had to be stopped and I had to be helped off, embarrassing 😵‍💫My fear of creepy crawlers and spiders are my worst fears.

4. What’s something you like about the town or city where you live? My daughter and family live here.

5. Life is too short to waste time on things that don’t matter.

Life is brief, LIVE IT!

George Takei Speaks From Experience … We Should Listen

GEORGE TAKEI SPEAKS FROM EXPERIENCE … WE SHOULD LISTEN

“Most probably remember George Takei from his role as Sulu in the Star Trek series, but Mr. Takei is also a published author and an activist. Today I came across his latest post on SubStack and I think what he has to say is so important that I want to share it with you. I do hope you’ll take a minute to read and ponder, for he has ‘been there, done that’ as they say.”

Tried to reblog but no go😵‍💫
