Chronicling Kindness

My friend Jane LaFazio

titles her first Sunday of the month blog

"The Kindness Chronicles".

Everyone has been so kind to me lately

that I want to take this post 

to say thank you,

and to point out a few that have been

over the top, so to speak.

This is a beautiful shawl

that was given to me by my friend Roberta,

aka Dr. Sock.

She brought this silk and wool shawl to our knitting group

last week for show and tell.

She had purchased the fleece at, I think,

Maryland Sheep and Wool.

After spinning it,

Roberta decided the color was not for her.

She knit it nevertheless.

I was the first to say how much I loved it....

so she tossed it across the room to me!

What a girl!!!!

The color is excellent on me,

and I think it'll keep me warm during chemo!

A very soft and warm hug from my knitting buddy Dr. Sock!

Friday afternoon my cell rang

and it was Sheila,

a church buddy and breast cancer survivor.

She wanted to drop something by the house.

I said ok, and when she arrived I invited her in to chat.

She had a bundle of books on breast cancer,

and she sat and counseled me for about an hour.

I listened, asked a few questions,

and thanked her for the generosity of her time.

I'm slowly going through the books,

and learning a LOT.

When my sister-in-law Molly heard my news,

she immediately offered to send me a signed copy of

The Dog Lived (and so will I).

The author is a good friend of Moll's,

and has recently travelled the same journey 

I am just embarking upon.

I ordered the Kindle edition 

for my iPad and am thoroughly enjoying it.

Even if you don't have breast cancer,

I'm sure you'd enjoy it.

My friend Jeannie has been listening to me

and sending hugs from across the country...

and she shared the Flat and Fabulous FB group.

I went there and joined immediately.

If you too are on this journey

but didn't have a Jeannie to tell you

about F&F,

then go there now and join!

It's a great group of Fabulous ladies...

so much support and love.

Dear friends came by this evening

and brought dinner.

We enjoyed a glass of wine and

laughed and talked like old times.

I've had the most incredibly supportive phone calls,

emails and blog comments

from friends that I've known for years,

and others that I've never met.

I feel warm and loved....

and I know I can beat this thing!

Thank you all so very much!

Tomorrow I promise to show some fiber photos.

I have been working,

really, I have!!

Thank you all.

You are the best!

peace to you!
