I woke up at 2 am and thought about change, and how our
journeys give us the opportunity to develop the skills and wisdom to accept and
grow with change. Some change, like
aging, is slow, giving us time to tinker with life strategies to find out what
fits, what works, and what doesn’t work so well. But it’s the change that happens instantly that
is the most challenging and requires us to reach deep within our foundational
beliefs and values if we are to persevere.
The last few weeks, my work life and cancer journey has been
filled with change. My abscessed tooth
needs to be pulled, but they can’t pull the tooth unless I take a 3-week vacation/washout
from my new chemo. After hearing my
latest challenge a friend ask yesterday, “Will you be okay?” This morning as I rode my scooter to work, and
watched the moon dart between buildings, I smiled as I realized, I’ll be okay for
years ago I decided to be a cancer thriver, not just a cancer survivor. And as a cancer thriver I’ve learned to take
life one day at a time. What will you do
to make today special?
