Well, the holidays were a joy, albeit busy, but I savored every single moment as I realize things could have been different this year.
I am still under doctor's care and require yet another surgery, but it should go smoothly. I have an upcoming CT Scan that will likely determine whether there is anything else going on in my body - that and a CA15-3 blood test. Personally, I "feel" all is good.
My co-worker's daughter got great news - in lieu of being a Stage 4, they staged her at a 2B. The difference in the two stages is vast and could very well be the difference in her life. I was so pleased upon hearing her news that even though I don't really know the young woman, it overwhelmed me into tears.
My thoughts for the New Year are this - maybe in the past, I was just moseying and getting by, but I am more determined than ever to really live life and not just merely exist in it. (I recently heard that from a friend)....
I hope that you too choose to enjoy and savor every single moment you are granted - life changes so quickly. Thank God for all the miracles....
Cheers to the years ahead! Happy New Year and love to all!!
