Living Life After Cancer

I know it’s not always easy but you have to try and enjoy something each day. Take pleasure in the little things. That’s something I did not do prior to a cancer diagnosis. I wasted so many days away complaining or feeling down about something trivial. Find the beauty in a sunny day, a good book or a smile on your child’s face. Helping someone always makes me feel better or a little walk outside can pick me right up. Even on the worst days, a good piece of dark chocolate is something I can enjoy for a few moments.

Life happens and that includes both good and bad things. It’s how we react to those things that really matter. When something is really starting to stress you out, take a step back for a moment. Think about whether or not this “thing” will still be a huge deal in a week, a month or a year. Heck, it could mean nothing much by tomorrow morning! Most things we deal with on a daily basis will resolve themselves or with a little help or work will get better in a short time.

Hope you are having a wonderful 2023 and enjoying a beautiful day! Remember, everyday is a gift. That’s why they call it the present! ;)
