This time last year
This time last year I was in the middle of a very active campaign to be elected President of the American Library Association. I was flying around the country going to conferences, writing articles and fulling speaking engagements, while mailing brochures out to all the ALA Affiliates. Little did I know how sick I really was nor could I have imagined what would take place in the coming year. I think about this now as I just finished voting for this years' candidates for ALA President and hope that they are taking care of themselves and will remain healthy. Yes, I was disappointed at the loss as recorded on my Blog last May -- but I do believe that things happen for a reason -- just as it did this time. There is no telling what stage my health would be in had I kept pushing. But for now, I feel good, and can't believe I have CKD, even though my kidneys are only functioning at 18%. Good luck to everyone running for an ALA Office -- and if you haven't voted -- please vote for Roberta Stevens for ALA President

I'm so glad that you're feeling well at 18%! And glad you posted, too...was wondering the other day how you were doing.
Got to hear both Kenton Oliver and Roberta Stevens last week at TLA in Houston. She was so poised and such a terrific speaker...if I could still afford the dues to four professional organizations after the divorce, she would have my vote. (Am still a member of TCEA, TLA, and the local teaching organization, but the dues are killin' me...)
