Let every day be yet another small marker on the joy of being on earth. Last year I blogged every day (365) about the importance of TIME. Lots of views, but really it was for me; to remind myself and reflect on my good fortune, EVERY day. SUNRISE & TIMEThis year I am blogging every day about GRATITUDE and thankfulness. GRATITUDE- a little goes a long way Although my life is back to "normal", we all know it will never be the same again - we CAN choose to make it even better. The most disrespectful thing I can do with life is to take my recovery for granted. Some don't get the chance.
As with any relationship, (God, spouse, friend, or more importantly - ourselves) to be truly successful, we need to work on it everyday. I end everyday (before I fall asleep - dark - everyone sleeping - just alone with myself) reviewing all the great experiences I had that day and what I am thankful for and conversely, start everyday, upon awakening (dark - no eyes open yet) reinforcing my continuing victory over Cancer and how lucky and thankful I am to have one more day and what one special thing I am going to do with that time today.
Sounds odd, but I truly believe my experience with Tonsil Cancer, is the most positive, life changing experience I have ever had. Often, God's most important lessons come with a baseball bat, for those of us that that just don't get it any other easier way. It seems that Tonsil Cancer is the worst thing that has ever happened to me and is is also the best thing that has ever happened to me.
I choose not to be the victim. I choose to be the winner. It is the Yin Yang of life. If Cancer is the Dragon - I choose to be the Tiger.
