Birthday present for myself

Blog Posted:6/6/2008 12:59:00 AM
Today is the last day with students at my high school for this school year.  I still have a pack up day and a 6 day training but-it is finished. :-)  Now I get to do chemo and later radiation.  I am very excited though because I have my new PREMIUM membership in PoetrySoup.com.  I've loved this community from day one and while going through surgery and working and not having or taking time to read or post-I was missing y'all (as we sometimes say in Texas).  Anyway I'm smiling because this is my birthday present to myself!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  I was saddened to hear about Tom Bell which is very different because usually even just hearing his name makes me smile or laugh as I recall some of his poetic antics.  Blessings to all.

Thanks poets, you gave me a cheery start to a Friday the 13th (not that I'm superstitious).. Thanks for all your well wishes and thanks for sharing your concerns and thoughts with the world through Poetry Soup.

Happy birthday! That was a beautiful thought you expressed about Tom, and I know that would (will) make him so happy. Best of luck with your health. Something tells me you are a fighter and will sail through and come out even better and stronger than before. Looking forward to to your poetry. All the best. Love, Shar
