Blissful is given the "all clear" by her surgeon and gets ready to step into the rest of her life.
- Surgery for breast cancer has completely changed Blissful's body, but has given her a new power of bravery and knowing herself better.
- 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."
- Time is running out but wouldn't it be cool to live fully, audaciously, without fear – and with joy – even in an uncertain world?
- Next week, Blissful heads back to trail in Arizona to finish a portion she had to skip when walking two years ago.
