My Active Rain friends know that I recently found a lump in my breast. After three weeks of tests, biopsy and worries, the results came back. BENIGN!

I already had a pretty good perspective on life and I think I'm really good at compartmentalizing and getting all the joy possible from the most important things. But now, it's even more abundantly clear to me that the things that matter most are well....

Upgraded (front row center) tickets to the circus for Jamma, Pa and three grandsons - $125.

Elephant, camel and pony rides for three boys - $72

Cotton Candy, popcorn and small (I mean tiny) sodas. (Oh, and funnel cake for Pa.) $59

An evening at the circus with my four guys - Drum roll here please....

PRICELESS!

Now that is priceless! With all the amazing positive outlook I know in Amy, I cannot imagine you not already having the most wonderful lookout on life! My daughter lives in Tempe right now and I cannot wait till I can live near her again.

Marian, I haven't been on AR much at all this month--real estate is just too busy right now--so I had missed your travail. So happy at the outcome for you!
