Time of Reflection and Gratitude

Hello everyone! Have been doing lots of reflecting and feeling very blessed. Its been 3 years today since I heard those unforgettable words...." Donna you have Cancer".  Boy oh  boy, so much has happened since that day. I hardly remember life without carrying this sometimes heavy, sometimes not, backpack. With this journey we have  been on, there has been some really tough times but there has been some really happy times...... along with many gifts. I refer to them as my " cancer gifts." Who would have ever thought that I would find goodness in all of this.....certainly not me!! My Mom used to always say to me "honey slow down and smell the roses" cause I was always on the go and usually in a hurry .My response always was "MOM your a long time dead....I can rest when im dead." Well I hear my mom now in a way I never imagined I could have. .I  live very differently tthan I use too..... I embrace each day and give thanks. I share and spend time for the moments not for things. I hug lots and say I love you whenever I feel like I want to. I don't worry about money and stuff....I smell the flowers and I see the beauty in many things and people. Im not in a hurry and I rest lots and take naps... Im so thankful and im so grateful...and im happy and feel blessed.....and all of you have made these gifts possible to me.  I will keep up the fight and enjoy my life. xxooxxoo  Keeping you in the loop Always Donna
