A day of being outside… walking, resting, healing…
Sandy and I went for a long walk in the rolling green hills above the
Stanford campus this morning. It was beautiful to be out in the warm
sunshine, hawks soaring overhead on the soft breeze from the ocean on
the other side of the high hills to the west, and the wild, twisted oak
trees along the trail. A great way to recover from two days of driving.
I walked this same trail last fall while Sandy was recovering from
surgery. The hills were dry and brown then, though still beautiful, and
I remember thinking that it would be nice to see this place in the
intense green of springtime… be careful what you ask for.
This afternoon we laid around by the pool, swam in the warm sun-dappled
water, gazing up at the tall trees overhead and strolled the gardens
here at the hotel.
Later, Sandy sat out in the garden by a fountain, soaking up the sun and reading a little. It was a perfect and peaceful day. Resting up to meet with the doctors tomorrow. I also signed us up for the Angel Adventure Walk on Saturday - a fund-raising event for the National Brain Tumor Foundation. Our team is called “Tumor Raiders.” –pvd:) [Caryn, thanks for the care package of bakery goodies! Arrived intact — no dogs around, alas.]
Sandy and I appreciate all the love and support from everyone…. again. The comments and emails have been a real uplifting inspiration to us. I read all of them to Sandy every night… a good way to end the day. We are so blessed to have you all with us on this journey.
Good night,
Dan
