Adish of baked doves and amazing grace We are longing for a trip to the mountains, due to an unexpected event; we will not be able to go today. The following words show how we feel about the mountains What a joy to wake up in the moun- tain cabin. Even the dust on everything that accumulated since we last visited did not get me down. Our plan was to get to the mountains, but that plan had to be scrapped and a new one made. There is fresh air today, I feel that I have been handed a dish of baked doves which is a gift of appreciation and an Italian practice noted by Shake- sphere. was in desperate need of a mountain fix. Most of my readers are aware of my mountain addiction and are happy that I calm down from any untoward happenings by visiting forest climes. One of first things I do when I Someone somewhere, knew that I on the deck, listening to the forest ani- mal's offer their voices. The demands of present day life seem to take second place in importance. Each part of a mountain day becomes important with its own natural offerings. Arising in the early hours appeals to me as I step out of the cabin into the brisk, morning air, I feel renewal. arrive at "Enderud," pronounced using short vowel sound with the exception of "u" whose sound matches the word, rude. It is Norwegian for "the end of the road." Since my husband is of Norwegian ancestry we have "Enderud" etched with a picture of the original Paulson home in Norway on a half circle widow on the cabin door. It is magical as I travel into the moun- tains, round the curves to Mineral not- ing that calmness has begun to embrace me. The concert of calmness culminates when I walk down the path to the cabin and see the Enderud win- dow at the top of the door. I enter, no longer at my wits end but am delight- ed to be at my own end of the road. All kinds of writing ideas come into my head. I feel free to take some mountain hikes followed by mountain naps. I pick up all kinds of reading material and bask in the cool breezes have a morning ritual that must be conducted one or more times during my stay. There are those that will judge the ritual as somewhat eccentric on my part. The judgment has no power over me, I conduct the act anyway. Now that I have made readers curious, I am willing to share my ritual as fol- lows; I cross the porch to the southern deck, at the rail I stop and begin quiet- ly singing, "Amazing Grace, how sweet the sound," followed by " Jesus, Jesus, Jesus, Sweetest Name I Know." Having finished these two songs that I have sung since I was a very young child, I am content and know that it will be a good day. I by John Newton with the first edition being rendered in 1779 with six stan- zas, with a second edition being pre- sented in 1808, near the time of New- ton's death. The origin of the melody is unknown. Mostly it is thought that the melody originated from the tune of a song the slaves sang, possibly an early American folk melody. John Newton was a prolific hymn writer and penned many journals and letters which painted a picture of the eigh- teenth century slave trade. Newton himself had been a slave trader but during his life had a fright- is expected to get a facelift over the next couple of weeks. The access road to Eagle Pass and Observation Point will be closed to public traffic while the Obser- vation Point road is rebuilt and is expected to reopen by July 4. "Amazing Grace," lyrics written Carolyn Barber ening experience that led him to believe that slavery was wrong and he supported the abolition of slavery. Newton became a minister in the Church of England. Some would say that New- ton's life changing events led him directly from Slave owner to Soul Saver. New- ton was secure in his faith that amazing grace would lead him home. The hymn has been embraced by many individuals down through the ages. Newton is an example that moral maturation can take time. Individuals can have a deep and true change of heart and share it with the world. As a child I did not know who wrote Amazing Grace but it seemed like one of most important songs in my life. Newton, after enduring many hardships became grateful for what he saw as God's providence. He often expressed his gratitude to God. I believe that must be what I am doing when I sing the song from my moun- tain deck, showing gratitude for my RRW retreat where I can gratefully, Rest, Read and Write. Between Shakespeare and Newton I greatly appreciate the appreciative dish of doves and the restoring words of the fourth stanza of Amazing Grace… "The Lord has promised good to me, His word my hope secures; He will my shield and portion be, As long as life endures."

While I'm thankful to have known several can- cer survivors, I am now at an age where some of my childhood play- mates and current peers might be diagnosed with this disease in the near future. How can I best Annie's provide support for cancer victims in an appropriate manner? I've tried to treat my friend the same as always, but I'm not sure that's always the right response. I couldn't ignore his hair loss after chemotherapy, but I also wasn't comfortable teasing him about it as I might have in other circumstances. I did some research and learned that losing hair could be a good sign that the chemo is working, but I wasn't sure how to express that. I know cancer victims often need help around the house or with errands, so I've made myself available to get groceries, but I'm not sure if it's enough or too much. How do I know if he wants to discuss the cancer and is waiting for me to say some- thing? Or maybe he is tired of people asking him ques- tions. Mailbox by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar your friend in usual projects or social events. Let him be the one to tell you if the commitment is too much to manage. Expect your friend to have good days and bad, emotionally and physically. I'd greatly appreciate it if there was a list of do's and don'ts. — Clueless on Can- cer Etiquette any resources you could offer to help friends of those with cancer in navi- gating this disease? Do you have Dear Clueless: You sound like a wonderful, compassionate friend. The American Cancer Society (cancer.org) offers a helpful list that includes: Take your cues from the person with cancer. Some people are very private, while others will openly talk about their illness. Don't feel that cancer is the only topic of conversation you can have. Talk about other things, too. Keep your rela- tionship as normal and bal- anced as possible. Include about how the cancer will be treated, even if you disagree. Listen without always feel- ing that you have to respond. Greater patience and compassion are called for during times like these. Offer to help in concrete, specific ways. Don't be afraid to hug or touch your friend if that was a part of your friendship before the illness. Respect his decision it is asked for. Don't be judgmental. It's normal for the person with cancer to be quieter than usual, to need time alone, and to be angry at times. But you do not need to put up with serious displays of temper or mood swings, or accept disruptive or abusive behavior just because someone is ill. Try not to be patronizing or use phrases such as, ''I can imagine how you feel,'' because unless you have Don't offer advice unless had cancer, you cannot know how he feels. Here are some additional suggestions: Send cards and emails to let him know you are thinking of him, but make sure he knows you don't expect a reply. Phone calls are OK, but a ringing phone can also wake him. If he has a partner, lend your support and attention to that person, as well. If he has kids, offer to take them out so he can discuss his condi- tion openly with doctors or partners. Offer to inform friends and relatives of the news. Don't ask for too much detail or explanation. Don't tell him about other people who have had his type of cancer. Don't urge him to ''stay positive'' or tell him ''it will be fine.'' That can frustrate his need to express himself honestly. Don't offer to bring books about cancer unless he specifically asks for them. Try to simply be yourself when you talk to your friend. What matters is that you show you care by being available, offering support and listening. With love from your Family and Friends .... your smile still shines in our hearts.
