To the hundreds of loving people who wished me well after my emergency hospitalization last week -- THANK YOU!!! ...(the crowd goes wild!).
I have 1,200 Facebook Friends, and I swear I heard from all of em since I was released from PeaceHealth Hospital in Longview WA last week. How very cool.
It might sound weird (nothing new for me, of course) but I heard from so many people, from so many countries, and heard from friends and relatives I have not been in touch with for years. Some I'd never met. Even people that don't like my politics! It was wonderful.
I told Tanner, after my health scare and ambulance ride, that I felt a little like Cuba Gooding Jr. in Jerry Maguire. Lying in the end-zone, smiling at the applause. Just a precious moment, which is how I would describe the love I have received and given back this past week. From so many.
I am deeply humbled, deeply. And anxious to tackle my Bucket List.
Wake up in Kindergarten every day. There is so much to learn, and so little time. Because before you know it...you're in First Grade.
