About 23 years ago, I was supposed to croak - a slight bout with a Level 4, Stage 2 Malignant Melanoma.
Well, joke's [so far] been on The Cancer - and for the past 23 years or so, I've been grateful for every day I've been allowed to hang around.
The last couple of years, I've really begun to appreciate everything that's going on, or has gone on, in my life.
My kids are doing exponentially better than I have done in all aspects of their lives.
Maybe that's all that a parent can wish for - the kids doing better than the parents.
Perhaps
the world will become a better place someday, if every generation gets a little smarter than the one before it??
So far, so good - and uno mas thing:
I cannot even express the joy I get from my daily surf safaris to La Jolla's beaches!
For me, it's an honor and privilege to still be accepted [at least I think I'm still accepted - maybe tolerated is a more appropriate term] in the line-up at WindanSea, Black's, and the other places in LJ that I surf.
Anyway, for right now at least - it's good to be ME!
Thank you kids and friends for letting me be part of your lives, and to share your waves!!
