What are your afternoon delights?  A decadent snack with a cup of tea?  Snatching a half hour to read or relax?  Watching a baby nap?  Going out on errands without a jacket, hat, and gloves?  Noticing a pair of bluebirds flying in your yard, crocus popping up from the ground, melting snow, sheets dried on the clothesline?   Today I am especially grateful that J.D. Stahl (pictured here with his amazing, smiling eyes)  is managing his treatments well in spite of a recent bout of pneumonia.   For the past 8 years, J.D. has been my Team Honoree for the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society.  For the better part of a decade, he has lived with CLL, a chronic form of leukemia.  For the better part of a decade, he has delighted in his family, his work, his church, his friends and neighbors…just as he always has.  For the better part of a decade, I’ve been inspired by him….to reach training and fundraising goals I never thought possible.   This year, I’m training for my 20th Team in Training event, St. Anthony’s Triathlon in St. Petersburg, FL.  Dare I hope to raise $20,000 for my 20th event?  Will you help me reach that lofty goal?  Just go to the Donate button and the rest is easy.  If you prefer to write a check, make it to LLS and send to me at 305 Country Club Dr., SE, Blacksburg, VA. Thank you, thank you for your help in funding research, education, and family service grants for folks like J.D.  Jan
