I get a certain amount of spam on this blog site and one that I just trashed said something like “finding your thoughts beneficial and your ideas really work.” Something like that. That would be nice if it was actually directed toward this blog but this kind of stuff is written so it applies generally to anyone and everyone. But a good thought none the less.
I don’t know about my ideas really working but I do hope that my thoughts are beneficial. Lisa one of my favorite people that I met at the Hot Spring Film Festival last year asked how my treatments were going. She had a teenage son die of cancer and knows the whole drill. I told her that the treatments were kicking my butt lately and I was feeling like the proverbial little flower coming up through a crack in the sidewalk. Not really any good reason why I should have survived this long, just too ornery I guess.
I used to think about myself being a three legged dog when first wrestling with this cancer of mine. Not that there is anything wrong with those guys but I am thinking that the flower in the crack is better for where I am at lately. I just must have work to do yet and God is keeping me around for that reason that is all I can figure out. But that seems like a plenty good enough thing at the moment.
Alperfect really, love, Felipe.
You are continuing to inspire me and many others.
Love and Prayers,
Heather
Heather ~ thank you, that’s my job now. But you dear are an inspiration to me. So, thank you for that. Rebecca and I will be down in November to see you. Phil.x
Felipe-
There is a favorite old “dicho” or saying en español that I heard long ago: Al fin no son los años en mi vida que cuentan…. es la vida en mis años. Its not the years in my life that count but the life in my years.
We just have to remember to live calmly and peacefully, as much and as well as we can, striving to see God in all things and gladly consenting to His will. You do that better than just about anyone I know!
¡Dios te bendiga mi amigo!

Jim ~ yup, gotcha! Loretta is setting aside some time for a trip to your place. It will be cool then right? Phil.
Cool for Southern California is more like “balmy” for Pacific Northwest!
OK Jim, we can handle balmy, I think. Phil.
