Thanks, @frogjumper. Your words are kind. We know that we never stay the same in life. . we either move towards one way (to good) or the other way (to the not-so-good). Our lives are not static. There are times I've let other people's responses hurt me, and that's part of my own response, but then I have to wrestle with it a bit and let it go. I'd like to say I wrestle less now than when I was younger. . . my husband might say, "sometimes". ;). But underneath it all, I want something good to come out of the hardship, both in me, and for those around me. It's a choice, I think. And I thank God that He helps me choose this. Prayers for strength and courage as you wrestle though your own breast cancer journey. You can do it. 😀
