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.

That's a really fast drop, which (I think, as a layperson) is promising. Congrats!

At the moment- sitting in my rocking chair, on our porch, drinking coffee, looking over our pastures of fresh cut hay.( while still in my PJs )

These look so good! Especially the eggplant! I love eggplants. My mom used to fry them. She dipped them in egg and flour, season them with garlic salt and fry them in Crisco. They were very tasty!

Today's joy: my eggplants and bell peppers are finally coming in, and my tomatoes are still booming (Ontario, Canada).

I am on forever meds too. I usually don’t even think about it, just grateful as you are. Mine is lung cancer. I enjoy reading these notes and puppy photos.

Taking an ice cream cake to a friend who was just diagnosed (for the second time) with breast cancer. Her face lit up and so did mine.

Dogs are the best! Their unending love and support and appreciation for any minute you spend with them is unique to canines. Not to downplay the comfort of a cat purring on your lap though.
