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.

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Cancer Support Group.

After five crappy years (lockdown, death of mom, cancer, recovery from cancer) I finally took a month, cancelled all doctor appointments and travelled around Spain. My Spanish is pretty good so I met lots of people, did some cycling, swam in the Mediterranean sea, experienced some unique foods and the best paella I’ve ever had and tried sangria made from Cava. In London for a couple days now and flying home tomorrow to continue what seems like an endless stream of Dr appts but not going to think about that for now. Sometimes the small things bring joy but this time it was a big thing!

My first sip of coffee as I gaze at the beautiful trees surrounding my home. Thank you God for another amazing day…

The lovely autumn color in the leaves this morning as the sunshine lit up the woods!

1. Working on my sewing, quilting and crochet 🧶 projects helps keep me busy and I donate them to charities, which makes me feel good to help someone else.
2. I try and walk at least 1 mile a day (I have to walk inside and stay out of the sun, due to my skin cancer.)
3. Playing games, writing in my prayer journal
4. Going to Church, ⛪️ or watching the services on YouTube, praying for others helps me always to feel better. 💐❤️‍🩹🙏

We could sure more teachers today with that same mindset. Preparing others for their future and putting them by name in the presence of our Lord.
