kayaking

I know it has been months since I have written. I went to the doctor a few weeks ago and was told I did not
have to come back for 3 months.
I have spent almost the last four years going to a doctor every month. my doctor asked
if I could handle it. I told her I will get in touch with her or my therapist if it is really bothering me. but so far
it feels great. I don't have to go back to the doctor until October! This is another stepping stone.
I am just sitting at the Castine Inn in castine, Maine. I am going on a three hour kayak adventure tomorrow.
I am a bit apprehensive about this, but I feel that it will be a good challenge. I have been in Prince Edward Island
for almost a week in Canada. The waves were no good for boogie boarding, which left me disappointed, but
it was beautiful there. It's motto is "the gentle island". There was something gentle.

The summer is almost ending, as September rolls around. The maine air smelt a bit like fall and I enjoyed the crisp
feeling of the weather.

I am exhausted from my journeys and I am happy to feel tired from travel instead of chemotherapy.

I wish I could have a cottage up in the country near the water (and some big waves). I must sleep. I need to get up early for
my little trip tomorrow. Then I go to boston for the evening. then back on a plane to Newark on Tuesday morning. early.

My aunt told me the other day when I was two or three, she brought me to the ocean for the first time. I stood there with my hands on my
hips and said, "i can't go in here.."
She asked me, "Why?"
I told her, "Because this pool is too big for me."
She then told me I went in and loved it. i am so grateful to finally swim and be near water again.
I am so lucky for many things in my life and the beauty all around me. I am thankful for people that make this life more beautiful.
