So I guess it is officially 1/1/11. That is a lot of 1's. I started this Blog one year ago for the purpose of tracking my progress while raising money and training for the 3-day Susan G. Komen for a Cure in Chicago. At that time I had no idea the blog would turn into tracking my journey against my own fight against breast cancer. Even now, almost 8 months after hearing those first words of warning, the time has seemed surreal and like it is happening to me but I have never bought into the doom and gloom that could be part of the process.
Today, I look forward to recovery from the treatment and thinking positive thoughts that all the cancer cells are gone, that there will be no reoccurrence, and if there is, it will be caught early and taken care of right away. There are no guarantees and I expect none - I just refuse to live in fear of something I have no control over and will live the best life I can, even more now than I may have before.
I will "dance" whenever I can. That means I am not going to live for my job, it will occupy my time 7:30 to 4:00 but then the rest is my time. I will be more kind, more understanding, and more content with less.
Right now I would like less tingling in my fingers and toes, and of course, more hair will be nice. It is January 1st so a great day to renew commitment to a healthier lifestyle, commitment to being a better wife, mother, sister, and friend. I will never take any of those rolls for granted.
I am blessed and I feel that every day - I wouldn't have chosen this journey, but I will learn whatever I can and do better.
Doom and gloom is over - I Love Life!
