Grateful

I just received an e-mail from a friend who I used to work with. I sent her an e-mail birthday wish since I missed the mailing date and I wanted to send greetings. I thought that she might be in the Maritimes helping to look after her parents who are elderly. Little did I know that she needs help. She had lung surgery in January and starts chemo in April. She has faced cancer before, this is in a different area. Tomorrow, I will call and also we, the group of teachers who all worked together will send flowers. It is the least that we can do.
I do not remember if I already posted a note about another person who I also worked with and I was playing tennis with last week. She fell during a break and broke her left wrist. Right now she is at home resting her wrist and trying to make sure that she does not jar the break.
My illness that I experienced a week and a bit ago seems minor in comparison. Makes me very conscious of how easy it is to have something happen.
Enjoy each day.
