Bounce

   Remember the rubber balls you got from the vending machines 

at the grocery store? They had colorful swirls or glitter and bounced 

really high!? I think they were 10 cents when I was a kid. Life before 

all the electronic gadgets.

   When I wrote my book “Learning to Bounce” I had no idea the amount

of “bouncing” I would be doing. I am starting to feel like that little gumball 

machine ball.

   I have recently been experiencing some blurry vision. I went to the eye Dr.

and was informed I have developed cataracts. It is a common side effect from

the steroid I had to take when I had lost so much weight due to the cancer

treatments. I know lots of little old ladies that have had the surgery. I am 

freaking out. The mere thought of another procedure of any kind is over-

whelming to me.

    So, while I am trying to calm down and decide when to do this, life bounces

on.; sometimes harder than others. We recently lost my brother in law

unexpectedly. He was in need of a kidney/liver transplant. That however is not

what caused his passing. He died from a torn aorta and we were blindsided.

I have watched both my sisters become widowed before they were 60. The 

very next day, my first grandchild was born! The circle of life…BOUNCE, BOUNCE

BOUNCE!!
