Today I'm adding a fourth "P" to my Three P's......positivity, patience, perseverance and now PERSISTENCE! This morning Judy invited me over for coffee and plopped down a plate of calories. Delicious! We then had the old colonoscopy chat! Young women talk about child birth....those us over 50 talk about colonoscopys....the worst part of course being the 4 litre jug of Golitely (ha...whoever named it that had a sick, sick sense of humour) that you have to drink the day before to flush out your system! Lucky Judy. That is one test I am happy to have behind me.....ha...another sick pun! Judy looked at me today and told me she wasn't sure she would be able to go through what I have been through with the same approach I have taken. I have others say this and I will tell you I have met many cancer patients in this past year who are doing exactly what I am doing. I agree that most people probably wouldn't be as open and public about their journey as I have been and to be honest it was never my intent to be that way. The blog started out as a way for me to communicate with friends and family while I was going through chemo/radiation and surgery. Since then it continues to be a great way to let people know how I am doing but also reinforces my desire to find the good in every day and believe me.....it's there!
Saw a facebook post this morning from Lindsey! It read..."Nothing like a dead baby gecko in your freshly brewed pot of hot coffee this morning!" She has such a sympathetic bunch of friends.....Here were the responses.....
-"So you got a free protein booster! What's your problem."
-"Another White Girl Problem"
-"That's what you get for travelling so much....it's just a question of time."
-"Is that a local delicacy?"
Seriously....a dead baby gecko in my morning coffee would probably cure me of drinking the stuff forever!
Had a good day today. Coffee, pedicure, walk in the park, and another coffee get together with other friends tonight! I know it sounds like all I do is drink coffee and have lunch.....I do do a lot of it I confess but I also am working out and riding my bike! Hoping spring is here to stay! Today was a beauty....finally!
