Final Tally:
- Sorted 20 bins (of too big clothes)
- Cleared 14
- Saved 5 bins of +1 (or 2) size clothes
- 8 gigantic bags of clothes for donation
- 1 bin TBD
Spent the last 2 weekends going through all my clothes that no longer fit ... from 1 to 5 sizes too big. Surreal experience...a complete reminder where I came from. Exhausting both physically and mentally trying on old favorites and deciding what to keep or not!

Had the somber privilege to be asked to photograph this years Kick-off breakfast for the 17th Annual UMass Medicine Cancer Walk & 5K Run.
There were awards for most funds raised, a panel of 4 doctors / researchers who, after speaking in their respective areas, opened up for questions; and most important and inspirational, there were Survivor Stories and a tribute to attendees who were Survivors Save the date! This year's Walk/Run will be Sunday, September 27th, 2015. Last year I did both the run and the walk. This year I plan to do the same. Was very, very disappointed yesterday when my friend of 30 years told me she blocked me from her Facebook timeline because of my periodic running and fitness posts. I've been told by so many other folks that they love following my journey and to keep posting, so I was completely sidelined when this friend told me this. In the interest of full disclosure this friend has various medical problems (don't we all) and is the type to make anyone elses issues (that they even choose to share) pale in comparison to her own (which the conversation usually centers around). Hmmmm, maybe that's why I only see her once a year. And the reason behind this blocking was "Why would I want to see all your posts about running, when I find it difficult to walk up and down the stairs?" Ummmm, I don't know; maybe because it's important to me, and I thought we were friends. The logical side of me says ... okay, maybe I should write off this so-called friendship ... but there is still such a sadness that she doesn't care simply because it's something that she can't do.
