Nothing must be taken for granted. My life after a cancer diagnosis is teaching me this. I don’t intend to waste any time. I am not care free anymore. I have less patience and I tend to resent people I find “petty”. At work two co workers were talking one was complaining about her life she had a wedding to go to and was having wardrobe issues. I wanted to say, “You think you have problems, well I have scans coming up and I don’t know whether or not I will need to deal with cancer!” But they don’t know I have a cancer diagnosis and I was once care free. I need to deal with my own negativity. It isn’t anyone’s fault I got a cancer. I need to deal with it but I am not alone. Some days I feel less positive but I am working on being happy and grateful for what I have. I have my family, I have a good support system, and I am not alone! Also I am cancer free right now. I am grateful for that!

If I can just stay in today! You nailed how I hear trivial complaints. I am instantly transported to my diagnosis day. I know that my mind was thing about funeral homes and my Mouth was only able to speak of hair loss. A new UnNormal filter between what I think and what I can say. Today is a Cancer Free Day full of Beautiful possibilities! Thank you for reminding me of that! ❤️
