  • National Frozen Margarita Day
  • National Tell an Old Joke Day
  • National Tequila Day
  • National Thermal Engineer Day
  • Pioneer Day or Church of Jesus Christ of the Latter Day Saints Pioneer Day
Quote of the day:

"Life is a terminal condition.  We're all going to die.  Cancer patients just have ore information, but we all, in some ways, wait for permission to live."

~ Kris Carr, author, wellness advocate, and public speaker

I object to categorizing the struggle by individuals 
against cancer as 'a battle'.  That implies two things:  [1] there has to be a winner, and therefore a loser; and [2] therefor, if you chose at some point quality of life over quantity life, you are somehow disappointing everyone.  The medical profession can declare war, marshal their resources and work on eradicating the disease; the individual just has very hard decisions to make, and there is no wrong answer.
