It's the end of June already! 2009 is now half over. For me it will certainly be a year to remember. But I do have a lot more to go before the year is over. If it keeps up like this, it will be a year to remember because I have done so well throughout this entire ordeal. I know that ordeal is really not the right word for me to use here because it has not been an ordeal for me. I've endured the entire process with no real problems. Thank you, God!

Today, my former boss told of a former business acquaintance who has been diagnosed with leukemia and will need a bone marrow transplant. Is it meor what? I had only only known of one person who had the disease up until I contracted it. Now, all of a sudden, people that I know or that friends of mine know start to be diagnosed with it. It seems like it's starting to surface everywhere. Maybe it's like noticing all the other people on the road who drive the same car as you do. Until you bought the car you didn't pay attention to them - but they were always there!

But, if I can be of any help to anyone, I will gladly do it.

But, modern medicine has made great strides and more people are surviving. For me, a positive attitude and a faith in God have ably supported all the medical treatment that I have received.

As an aside, my company is slowly disintegrating around me. They are selling off pieces and have asked to be delisted on the Toronto stock exchange. It will be interesting to see what the world will be like when I get clearance to go back to work.

But, I just keep on trucking - taking it one day at a time. Feeling fine...
