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.

My wife, Suzy, and I travel each summer in our travel trailer to escape Scottsdale's summer heat. We awoke this morning in Five Islands Provincial Park in Nova Scotia. We took these photos when we arrived last night.

Good night’s sleep last night.
Picking up micro greens for the week. Going to see Toy Story 5 with 3 of my grandkids, husband and daughter.
Eating some M&M Peanuts (candy is a rare and decadent treat since my diagnosis.)
Watching my husband and one grandson bumper-bowling.
Listening to kids laughing and playing while I sat outside.
My days are not generally filled with this much activity or joy but today by the grace of God there were too many other things to fill my plate. It truly is a blessing that I wish for all!

@zmarkv Grandchildren and grandpuppies are always special. But I've found that with cancer, and knowing that I originally wasn't supposed to be around long enough to meet them, I love them so much that it aches.

Having a long conversation with my cousin. We shared old family stories and laughed and laughed. We made a pact to call each other once a week.
