On 01.02.02, I was diagnosed with metastatic breast cancer. Too late for surgery, I had chemotherapy, which failed. In May the chemotherapy was changed and I was soon in remission which was celebrated and welcome and lasted nine years - until October 2011. There was progression in 2011 so more treatment was indicated and I am now back in partial remission. But I'm not only a cancer patient - I also enjoy my family, walk my dogs and am learning to draw and paint. Life is good!

The lady at the well



Hidden near the town of Kildare, in County Kildare, is a small park with a well and statue honoring St. Brigid.

Following her namesake, the Celtic goddess Brigid, St. Brigid cared for animals, the poor and others in need. She was a 5th century woman who presided over a dual monastery with both men and women, a tradition of Celtic spirituality.

My drawing doesn't nearly do the site justice, it's really one of those little gems off the path that is well worth the effort to locate.
