this and that

still elated for Amelie.....she has(wisely in my view) withdrawn from this week's Dubai tournament, as she would have had no chance to rest before playing again)

lovely picture of her in 'The Advocate'.....black and white; not read the article yet: just got it today, at Borders. Another addition to the Momorabilia box :)

Speaking of Dubai.....Shahar Peer, the Israeli player, has been refused a visa to play - the WTA's rules say that no country should refuse another player entry because of *their* country....meanwhile she will probably be given extra ranking points, no-one will do anything(boycott? as if........)and not much else if anything will be heard about it......hmph.......

I'm psyching myself up for a doctor's appointment on Friday, to discuss(again) the possibility of MS......more symptoms since the last time of discussion, a couple of years back, so we shall see.....

anyone who has any extra thoughts or prayers or anything of that nature, please send in this direction, for a bit of courage for me to keep the appointment in the first place, and try to get a bit of progress when I'm there.......I'm not religious but would like to think that there is something somewhere that's compassionate and helpful - not in a micro managing sort of way, but in a way I haven't the means to understand, if that makes sense....call it the Universe, the Powers That Be, whatever.....

oh, and I've started the scarlet Amelie socks! Watch this space........ ;)

You know you always have good thoughts from me - we Quakers call it 'holding someone in the Light'. Be brave, and keep the appointment - better to find out the truth than worry about what it might be....
