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.

I don’t get flowers anymore. I told my husband and my son that I don’t want to take care of cut flowers. Get me a flower plant instead. Well, now I don’t get either!😀

@feesepa Welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect! What type of cancer has your friend been diagnosed with? We have several support groups here on Connect that discuss different types of cancer.

My 7 year old grand daughter G. is at my house every Saturday. We spent over an hour playing an elaborate "challenge" game with points and prizes. I challenged her and my husband to try and beat each other at Simon Says--he came very close to winning but she wised up at the last minute. My last challenge was to out and do a silly dance on the sidewalk. Luckily the neighbors were not out walking!

My daughter called and wants to come to visit. She has 2 children, one high on the autsitic scale. She has become a better mom than I for certain. She will be on the road for 5.5 hrs (both ways) to get here. She will be back home for dinner with her own kids, so a quick visit in spite of the distance. We have a special relationship to be sure. This is the first time she has come on Mother's Day. This brings me much joy.
