No, not Pink Panther, and not the singer Pink! either --- October is National Breast Cancer Awareness month. Everywhere you look, there's pink! Many places are going pink to help awareness. At my Big.Box store, there are a lot of products that are available in pink right now. Even the Georgia Aquarium is celebrating NBCAM by lighting up in pink the entire month of October! Yesterday, I was at the dentist, and he wore pink gloves! The last Saturday of the month, by company is one of the sponsors for the local breast cancer walk, and I'll be walking. This year, I'm walking for "my breast friend, Julie", who found out a couple months ago that she has breast cancer. (one step... one day... repeat. Love you, Julie!)
Because of Julie, I knew I needed to set up my appointment for my annual mammogram, and I had that done today. *huge smile* Very important, ladies, to get "the girls" checked!! (yeah, I know, its not the most comfortable thing in the world, but well worth it - early detection is the key!) If you have questions about breast cancer, or want more information, here is the link for National Breast Cancer Awareness Month - they have a lot of links to pages with lots of good information.
Watch for a post at the end of the month; I'll blog, and should have pictures as well, of the local walk.
Think Pink! HUGS to everyone!
