Welcome, welcome! I agree that one of the unexpected "benefits" of having cancer is that you tend to rejoice in the blessings you still have. Brava!
"Procrastination does not extend life" - what a great line.
I wrote it down because as a cancer survivor, I need to remember the thought every day and sometimes I fall back into just letting time pass by.
you go, girl. i love your optimism. wish i had more of it myself. i have a 12% chance of surviving the next 7 years and i'm one of those people who has been deserted. actually, my lifelong struggle with depression got the better of me about 5 years ago and i was driving around with some knives in my car so my husband had me committed (for my own good???). my 2 best friends were my son's best friends' mothers and he told them i was crazy and i never heard another word from them. so much for best friends. guess i don't know what a best friend is. anyway, then 3 years ago i was diagnosed with a very rare form of breast cancer (inflamatory breast cancer) so what do you do ..........call people who haven't spoken to you in years and say, "hi, how've you been doing? i have cancer." as i said, they're my son's best friends' mothers so they have to know, my son's there all the time. so i've spent the last 5 years not talking to anyone outside of my immediate family and pretty bummed out. i just can't tell you how great it has been to be here on eons. i log in and find mail........sometimes it makes me so happy i cry!!! so thank you, thank you, thank you to all of you. oh, and i started to write this to tell Anna (art student) that i was an art major in college so if you wanna talk....................
