This week marked my first official work outings of the New Year, and what a treat to celebrate it with Team CFS. Great thinkers, coupled with the right amount of humor and the willingness to do what’s best for the team, is a recipe for superior results. And I don’t even cook.
2015 starts as a slightly uphill climb in terms of regaining the strength and stamina that I had before surgery, but easy gliding in terms of the time and energy spent with family, work that matters and goals worth achieving.
The American Cancer Society released its Facts and Figures 2015 report. The estimated number of deaths from pancreatic cancer for Hawaii residents in 2015 is 220, not a large number, but the five-year relative survival rate has moved only from 3% in 1975-77 to 7% in 2004-10. Beyondsixfive rings true.
On a lighter note, our family recently went out to dinner when the kids were home, with Hal and I as the scout team to corral a table for nine since the restaurant did not take reservations. As I stood in the seating area thanking the wait staff for moving tables together to accommodate us, I noticed that all the restaurant patrons were staring at us. I didn’t think I was speaking that loudly. When I sat down, I looked down and saw that I had forgotten to unpin the front of my shirt, which I normally keep tied up at home to prevent my incision from bothering me. At long last I was a pin-up girl.
The New Year starts with my blog having a new official domain: www.beyondsixfive.com. Here we go!
