Blissful is given the "all clear" by her surgeon and gets ready to step into the rest of her life.  

1. Surgery for breast cancer has completely changed Blissful's body, but has given her a new power of bravery and knowing herself better. 
2. One friend calls her a "sur-thriver" facing down the situation directly, and trying to do what St. Paul said, to "rejoice always and not worry about anything."
3. Time is running out but wouldn't it be cool to live fully, audaciously, without fear – and with joy – even in an uncertain world? 
4. Next week, Blissful heads back to trail in Arizona to finish a portion she had to skip when walking two years ago. 

MUSIC: Introduccion y Allegro by Carlos Guastavino as played by Alison Young, flute and Vicki Seldon, piano.
