Winnie’s Warriors #63 | New Friends, Old Memories

Hello Everyone:

I’m just relaxing at home after going to yoga, watching the Cinderella season of the Toronto Maple Leafs – giving hope to a city of starved hockey fans, having some wine and cheese. Quite civilized I would say!

Six years ago today, I said good-bye to my right breast and my very malignant tumour and lymph nodes. I always feel a little strange and unsettled on this day. It’s an old memory that I would prefer not to relive, but I can still remember every detail of that very long day. So yoga was good for me today. It allowed me to quiet my mind and breathe. I felt a lot more calm afterwards – although I didn’t stay for the meditation part. :O

This year was also Season Five of my skiing. The weather wasn’t great this year but I managed to get out five times. My final ski day of the season was on April 2nd. I also made five new singles/couples – who are now friends. As you get older it’s harder to make new friends, so needless to say, it makes me feel so blessed. I know that to become a better skier,  I need more mileage. So my new friends are thinking about going abroad to ski next year – I think I’ll go with! Besides, I did treat myself to a new ski ‘onesie’ outfit. I think it’s a very European Ski Bunny look!

Nice thing is that many of them golf and that is what I am looking forward to starting again soon. Season 17. Sadly, I haven’t regained my old form from pre-cancer days. But I am hopeful……as always!

I learned that tulips speak to you as they ‘branch out’. These are in my room and I see them when I go to sleep and wake up. They are saying “I LOVE YOU”!

It has been a busy first few months of 2017 – but I am very happy to report that I am CONTENT. 🙂

Hugs and Love to you all.

Winnie, the Warrior xo
