Busy QoLing weekend😂

Friday night in Bakersfield went to the Bakersfield Fox Theater to see the World Ballet Series performance of Cinderella. What an exquisite performance with sumptuous costumes, athletic dancers, and the beautiful music of Prokofiev. The several Pas de deux's with the Prince and Cinderella were astounding with the lifts from the Prince holding a lithe, graceful Cinderella over his head. Wow

Btw, the program listed the dancer names and they were all pretty much Russian 😍

Saturday am was the ZERO 5k event back in person, a smaller turnout, maybe the economy, but there were 10 PCa survivors there, with most newly Dx'd under 3 years. There was a gent at 8 yrs, and ya know I hit my 9th Cancerversary with #stageivpca

Race Director had me say a few words😁

I brought the Memorial Sign and had it planted right before the finish

I walked the 5k with a lady patient, hubby ran it, whose been with me over 20 years and two AIS Rad(iation) Staff ladies - both were in those vids at AIS during IMRTs

Team Kam Ohana took 3 awards for Top Team, Top Fundraiser, and Largest Team

Had beer/pizza with two couples both longtime patients💙

"What a day this has been!

What a rare mood I'm in!

Why, it's almost like being in love

There's a smile on my face

For the whole human race

Why it's almost like being in love

All the music of life seems to be

Like a bell that is ringing for me"

QoL on y'all

With Aloha and Love

Randy

Mahalo nui loa my Bruddah, and y'all know how QoLing brings me Joy too.

I knew when the ZERO event was and looked up to see if there was something I could do in Bakes the Friday night. The Muses must've have guided me to something that I really dig 😁

Mahalo nui loa my Brother, and Yea babeee, the stars aligned with a few of my favorite things... Serendipity or guided by a Divine Hand?

I've said to pts that over these 9 years with #stageivpca that I felt like a pawn on a 4D Chessboard, that I'm here for a reason💙 I'm down for that 😂

I love how much you LOVE life, art, people, activity, and ALWAYS seem to have something to look forward to. AND, most of all, you share happiness with all around you.

I am blessed and excited to know you, and my father is cheering you on from above!

Sent with love, and holding "your" prayer rock in my hand, cheering you ALL on as well.

Dawn

[dockam in reply to dadsdrdawn]

Mahalo nui loa my Sis - Life is so wonderfully enhanced by experiencing what's out there, it chases the Blues away.

I was so captivated at the Ballet with the athleticism and the grace. The ZERO event was a blast with 4 of my over 20 year pts and the two AIS staffers. Ya know that I busted out in song just cuz like I do at the office, and when I got up to get the awards I hugged the Race Director and gave him a kiss on the cheek.

I got that elan/joie de vivre going on, damn the PCa Full Speed ahead😁

Up next Beautiful - Carole King bio, Mamma Mia, then home to Hawaii

I've said this before, if I followed up my 4.7 PSA in 2010, that I would never have met such wonderful people on this and other forums and never made those Ripples that maybe saved a man's life or inspired them.

I wouldn't change a thing, Life is Beautiful💙.

I'm certain that your Dad is cheering and I'll meet him someday on the Other Side

Much Aloha and Love to you Dawn - my Cheerleader. Mahalo for the Love/Prayers. I'm #Blessed to still be here

I'm gonna get out to you somehow in 2024

[maley2711 in reply to dockam]

Thanks Randy......think I stumbled onto them when I Googled the question a few days ago...light and flexible , but also with a durable sole?

[dockam in reply to maley2711]

I have two sets of Merrells and I switch each, so far this year I'm at 1192 miles and both pairs have a lot of tread left. Go to a shoe store and try on and walk in them - then buy them online for maybe cheaper 😁

[maley2711 in reply to dockam]

Thanks again!!!

[maley2711]

Most importantly, congrats on the 2.9 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
