I want to give a shout out to several dates in the month of March. Three years ago, on March 24, 2006, I was diagnosed with leukemia. I'm still here. Just a week ago, I forgot to celebrate the 18-month anniversary of my transplant. Have I grown complacent or what?
The further I get from the nightmare, the more I realize how lucky I am. Approximately 70% of adults diagnosed with Leukemia die from it. Someone has to be in that 30% survivor group, and it looks like I've made the cut. Little Voice Inside My Head adds: for now.
On March 12, my daughter Mariel turned 21. The moment she was born was one of the most notable of my life.
I'd also like to recognize that March 15 is Leah Ryan's birthday. Leah was a blogging buddy of mine who died of leukemia in June 2008. She would have been 45 today, but time has stopped for Leah.

Thank you for sharing so much of yourself and giving to others. Congrats on 18 months post transplant. YOu have gone from days to months and soon to be years. Yes, you are a survivor. Tell the little voice to shush.
You give SO MUCH to others going through the struggle and fight. We all appreciate it.

Lea said it as good as you can say. Cheers, PJ.
Here's to complacency! :) Well done you.

Glad it's all seeming further away. What a great feeling. And so sorry about your friend.
Hi, Merely came back here to remind you about Mobile Monopoly. This is a great system and WILL make you money, especially seeing as you own a web site. Take a quick look at the video, the system is about using Mobile Advertising which is completely new and an unexposed market where you can make thousands by doing hardly any work. I assure you that after you watch their short video it will change you and it will start making you think. http://mobile-mastermind.com
