I have stage 4 ER positive HERS negative. I look at each day as a blessing, those days might be fewer than I’d like but I have as many as I am blessed with & want to make them count. Some days may be harder than others but I am blessed to be alive with thought & mobility. As I go about my day I always find there is someone less blessed than me, whether they have no arms, legs or are struggling with the challenges of diseases like MS, it reminds me of my blessings, no matter how many, today, I can articulate my words & move my body to build a positive memory to all those I meet throughout my day. God has blessed me with another day, for that I stay on the positive side. I send my wish that you lay your head down tonight knowing you are blessed & that you have left someone you encounter today with a positive memory.

Thank you for your wise words and your courage and strength. I will make a move towards your way of thinking and be thankful that I am able to get up, move around and have my own mind. Thank you
God bless you. In my thoughts.

That is exactly what I try to do. I am blessed with a family that is quite supportive, but I also have a strong faith in God. While I am not a church goer, I have always had my conversations with him. During my second chemo round whereupon I was quite frightened from the outcome, I woke up in the middle of the night hearing a voice telling me "I will be with you constantly." On my third round I woke up in the middle of the night hearing "Have patience." Since that time, I have been calm and when I am in doubt, I tell my self, I will be with you constantly and have patience. I am also starting a Mindfulness Meditation practice that will be 8 weeks and am finding that that is also quite calming as well as walking in my neighborhood -- am having a bit of trouble with my balance so take my trusty hiking sticks to keep me upright! All the best to all of you in this group -- take one day at a time and look forward, not backward.
