gracefull roll

[camojack]

Oh, and some good news... I have a very successfully treated form of leukemia. I still have leukemia, but it's nothing anyone is thinking will be hard to treat.

This is GREAT news!!!

As you undoubtedly know by now, you've been in a lot of people's thoughts and prayers, thanks to our good friend Matt...

[Mizirlou]

Dear Friends...Keep sending the love!

The “thing” went out yesterday. Small box, priority mail, sent to your Mom’s address. The post office said it’ll be delivered Monday, 12/13.

Hint: it’s not a puppy. That’s all I’m saying so quit trying to squeeze it outta me.

everybody with a snot filled tissue raise your hand right now.

[mweinstone]

if any of you had any sence at all you will have listened to mountain stage tonight and know full well whos birthday this is and how prosephetic that is. i call the prose poet in question,the godmother of prose.and one of my heros. write a poem/prose for kristin. i belive thats the thing to do.

their was a woman at the gathering who fell over alot
others fell just for her
to see if they could do it as gracefully
rolling and falling cant be the same
some are gracefull some are lame

its good to fall for fun and games
gracefull rolling is sorta the same
if it happens to you come hear and listen
the sound of wind and after theyved risin

all standing with their burdens needed
that they may hike
where trails are seeded

if you hear this sound youll ask
hows that done?
such a mighty task?

and this youll hear a one reply
the answer my loves , is in the sky.

Just wanted to say I'm reading... I may not respond to everything because my eyes are often tired and I'm having vision issues in one eye (no worries, it will heal on its own).

Also, for those of you that may be unaware:

I am receiving SO MANY blood transfusions. So, for Christmas, I'm suggesting that everyone donate blood if they can. It's likely I won't get to return the favor due to receiving chemotherapy.

If it had not been for the people did their best to donate all of this blood, I wouldn't be here.

Also, kiss your loved ones.

Not a puppy? Damn!

[Rocket Jones]

Donating blood has become a huge issue lately, even moreso than it was just a few years ago. Due to concerns about Mad Cow, anyone who lived in Europe during the 80's (i.e. military and dependents) are now ineligible to donate. The available pool of doners in the US took a big hit.

If you can give, please do.

[johnnybgood]

Not a puppy? Damn!

That's right... make him feel guilty.

[johnnybgood]

I donate blood every 2 month cycle so this week is the time for me to donate again.

Never underestimate just how valuable the act of giving blood is. It saves lives every day.

[ec.hiker]

Hey if you are a cancer survivor you can still donate it has to be in remission for a bit though not sure how long I have been in remission for I think klike 1 years now Leukemia AML not the same as gracefull but anyways I donate blood and plasma I actually get paid for the plasma I don't do it for the 15 dollars lol I do it cuz it is the right thing to do the 15 bucks usually goes to something charitable

[Nizhoni]

Just read this post..... Gracefull Roll you are in my thoughts and prayers! I'm glad to know that you are doing well and your spirits are up. We have never met and I am new to the sight. I think your friend Mattewski is a great friend and yes Mat my right hand is in the air!! Many blessings to you and please keep us updated on how you are doing!!

I started hiking the AT many years ago and have always been in awe at the family sense you get from the AT community, this is simply another example. Me, my wife and daughters wish you the very best. God bless you and your family and Merry Christmas!
