OCTOBER IS...........

October is........a time for color and crisp morning air, a time to enjoy the changes in the seasons of the year and a time to "think pink"! October is breast cancer awareness month. Don't forget to do those self-exams and to schedule your yearly mammography. If you suspect anything out of the ordinary have them done right away and demand that you have a mammogram no matter what your age may be.

As I write this blog today, my daughter Pam is taking part in the 2-day Breast Cancer Walk in Atlanta. Pam, I am so proud of you, and Melissa, and all of those who are walking with you today and giving up their weekend to make life better for someone else! Pam is walking in honor of me today (a 3-year cancer survivor), for her 93 year old grandmother (a 54-year cancer survivor) and for all those who have been touched in some way by this disease. I will be there tomorrow to cheer her across the finish line and to give her a great big hug. She is a very special young lady with a great big heart!!!

As the leaves begin to change their colors this month, don't forget the color pink....think pink, wear pink, tell a survivor you love them, give them a big hug, say a prayer for those who are fighting this battle and pray for those whose loved ones have lost the battle as well. Cancer touches the whole family!

Life is precious----"Live" it to the fullest till you reach the end and reach your ultimate goal of eternal life. "Love" with unconditional love; that which you can give and also which you can receive as well. And, don't forget to "Laugh" along the way; find joy even in the hard times it will uplift your spirits and help someone else to smile as well.

Happy "Pink October"!
I love you guys,
Judy
