Love...♥

Sure enough, Saturday came and Jordan & I worked the door at Ettore's for the fundraiser. It was SO much fun to get out of the house and actually work. If you recall, I met John when we were working in the restaurant together, so it's in my blood. Of all the jobs that I've ever had, I've got to say working in a restaurant has got to be my all time favorite. There's something about working with the public and truly making that personal connection with somebody, that I miss the most. Jordan and I worked from 3:00 - 7:00 and had a blast. It wasn't until the next day did my body start to ache. My feet hurt so bad that I was walking like an old woman, barely able to put pressure on them :( I've got to remember that although my mind is feeling good, my body can hardly keep up these days. I'm kind of nervous about the walk this coming Saturday, but I know that adrenaline will keep me going. All I have to walk is 1 mile (unlike most people who are walking the 5K). I'll just have to stay in bed on Mother's Day to recuperate.

Thank you for all who voted for me for the Honorary Bat Girl Contest through Major League Baseball. They announced the winners today and my name was not among those who won. However, there's always next year :) We'll start working on our story and have it top-notch by the time we need to submit it.

Today I want to think about LOVE. Ever since being diagnosed, people have come out of the woodwork to show their support to me. It's amazing. I truly never thought I was LOVED that much, nor did I believe I could LOVE as much as I do now. I not only LOVE my family today, but I've grown to LOVE more and more friends, doctors, nurses, people I've come in contact, etc. It's a LOVE-fest :)

Peace to you all ♥ Love, Genie
