Thursday 5th December

I've learnt a new word this week 'Cornucopia' , not entirely sure how you pronounce it, and so far have not found an occasion in my verbal ramblings to friends that I feel I could have used it; but right at this moment in time I too am 'overflowing' with LIFE !!!

My CT scan was ALL CLEAR of the dreaded cancer tumours, and my blood test (CA 125 ) was still in single figures 9 . With kidney and liver function all appearing normal , a huge relief all around, and so I really do feel very blessed.

The cornucopia (from Latin cornu copiae) or horn of plenty is a symbol of abundance and nourishment, commonly a large horn-shaped container overflowing with produce, flowers, nuts, other edibles, or wealth in some form. Originating inclassical antiquity, it has continued as a symbol in Western art, and it is particularly associated with the Thanksgiving holiday in North America.
