What brought you joy today?

Posted by northoftheborder @northoftheborder, Jun 28, 2024

If you've been living with cancer for a while, you know it's not all gloom and doom. Where did you find joy today? I'll start:

1. Working in my garden.
2. Meeting my daughter for tea.
3. Home-made pizza for dinner.
4. My spouse (always).
5. Some interesting online discussions.
6. Rereading a good novel.

What brought me joy today was installing the new flush-mounted medicine cabinet in the bathroom as a surprise for my spouse when she gets home tomorrow (it's been sitting in its box in the living room for a week).

I'm not a super handy guy, but disabled ≠ unable (take that, spinal compression!), and I even managed to drill new mounting holes in the aluminum sides. I just need to do a bit of plaster touch-up around the edges and put in the shelves.
