The alternate title for this post could have been "Before Take-off," since my friend is leaving Belgrade today for NYC where she lives. I took this photo when she and I were having a (very) cool drink in Zemun, one of Belgrade's adjacent municipalities.Unlike the dragonfly I posted here a short while back, this fellow stayed put a long time, as if enjoying the view.
I think we should all do this. I do now. Today, 5 years ago today, I finished an eight-month chemotherapy treatment here in Belgrade for Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, which I never suspected I had until it was fortunately detected early through my yearly physical. So far, so good.
One never knows how many days one has, so I try to take advantage of every single one.

I do so like sitting to enjoy the view. Yet there are so many views to see. I flit around like the dragonfly.
Congrats on being healthy and alive to enjoy all the views you can.
Lovely!
There's nothing like a reason for chemo to put things in perspective, is there? Hope you continue to live life to the fullest—and in perfect health.
