We never tire of April Fool’s Day, do we?  Our son Josh made a fool out of me and it was good for 15 min. of animated conversation between  Mike and me.  I responded to Josh by e-mail, “Really?”  He responded, “Do you know what day this is?” April Fool!!!!  In spite of dire diagnoses, docs who feel like dingbats when they can’t find cures, dashed dreams of a normal life, our friends with blood cancers are often the ones keeping us in stitches, saying, “April Fool!”  Laughter is healing and beneficial.  Keep a list of funny movies close at hand.  Watch one with a friend who needs to laugh, and you’ll double the healing properties of laughter.  Life has been hectic but good!  The weather only occasionally cooperates for long training rides, and that’s when I am grateful for spin classes…I can’t wait to watch the spring season unfold on these long rides.  Nothing compares to riding the roads in six counties as we prepare for the big ride in June.  It is positively life-giving to be out there…and it gives me time to think of more ways to engage you in raising awareness and funds for the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society.  Every little bit helps…it all adds up to more effective treatments and cures.  Peace be with you this day!  Jan
