October

October has been an incredibly emotional month for me.October is breast cancer month and as much as I apprecite all of the "pink" awareness around me every where I go, I'm kind of glad the month is almost over. It is hard to be reminded of it for 31 days straight! It has been real enough for me for the 18 months before that; good thing pink is the "calming" color:)
Yes I will still dress my girls in pink through the year and I'll still wear something pink from time to time (it's nothing personal against te color pink) I JUST NEED a Break!
I went to Alberta for a get away last week and when I walked in their Safeway I stopped in my tracks...breast cancer awareness month followed be there!! I thought I was going to be able escape my reality for a couple of days, and there they were dozens of huge pink ribbon helium ballons, ARrrGGGHH!
Don't get me wrong...I'm thrilled that times are changing in that regard and that we can see and say breast in public with out hesitation (or maybe I can at least:) and that money is being raised for such a worth cause, and real lives are being saved through education, early detection, research and treatment. I believe these things have saved my life not once but twice. I rejoice in knowing that lives are being saved because we aren't afraid of pink!!
So "just a little tired of pink" and breast cancer, I think I'll take a break!!

Coffee anyone:)
