 Topic: Today....Posted: Mar 05 2009 at 10:38am |
|
I have a Facebook account, and it has a cute little application where
you can write 1-2 sentences about you -- what you've done today, where
you are, etc.
So, I decided that we all need a little inspiration from each other, and I've decided to start a "Today...." thread. ALL I want on this thread are simple, brief statements -- whatever you have done or experienced today that is worth sharing. I'll start. You all continue!

Today.... I spent an hour in my basement -- boxed up three boxes for
Salvation Army and had my boys haul them to the van. Sad thing, you
can't even tell I was down there! Feels good to get a little bit
cleaned up and out of the house (cleansing, you know!), but after 2+
years of cancer treatment, there is still more to GO!

Thank you for deciding we needed inspiration. I had hoped we were doing that already for each women who finds her way here. Please tell me what we are supposed to be inspired to do.
There are possibly many women going through treatment who feel guilty enough because they are too sick to get up from bed, and single mothers working full-time to keep healthcare benefits, trying to maintain some normalcy for their children - spring cleaning a basement may not be too inspirational for someone barely managing to make it through a day before collapsing.

Well, yesterday was cooler than today, so I'll tell you about yesterday. I spent about 5 minutes alone with Donny Osmond after his show. Got to tell him how much he has inspired me and thanked him. Took pictures and really had a good time. Love, |

Connie, what you say is valid and true. But I like the inspiration idea. Today, when I was on the table getting prepped for my last rad planning appointment, I was crying. And the two nurses? over me looked down at me, one hot nurse my age, and the other beautiful 21 old girl, and they said, we know exactly how you feel. They both were survivors. So I cried harder. Inspired that they are alive and healthy, and sad that there is so much cancer..

I am inspired today because I had chemo and now only have TWO more treatments to go!!!! Yeah!! And it is inspiring to read about how others are up and have energy to do things again. It gives me hope that someday soon I too will be up to doing exercise or cleaning out the closet. To know that life with return to some kind of normal..... Love and hugs to all of you

Yesterday I worked hard; took a long walk home taking in the beauty of all the gardens come to life after the rain; spent the evening with my sweet girls Aviva (11) and Talia (8) that included a steamy bath and cuddling; ate soup, salad, and ice cream, and then made love with my husband before dissolving into sleep. This weekend we go skiing for the first time in years. I can't wait to race down the mountain with the wind whistling in my ears, dreaded tumor marker test results be damned.

Today, I'm returning home from Las Vegas. Two of my 'bucket list items' have been checked off. In addition, I notice that I have more energy than I give myself credit for and so when I get home, I"m going to do more around my home and environs. I'm also going to start PT and Speech Therapy.
Cheers,
Caryn

Today I volunteered at our city library used book sale. My brother went too. We also picked up a dozen good books at a very modest price. The sun is shining and it is a cool 65 degrees right now. Life is good!

Today, my daughter and granddaughter are flying in from Virginia to join the rest of the girls in my family (2 daughters, 2 granddaughters, Mom, 3 sisters and SIL ) for my very first fashion show. I will be a Survivor Model at the Hope Fashion Show on Monday. Never thought I'd be walking the catwalk at 59!

This morning I sipped hot delicious coffee while reading the newspaper, then played with my good friend Debra, her daughter Zoe, and my girls Aviva and Talia. They swirled in the living room to music as we read magazines wrapped in blankets. Next, Joel and I go to a contact improv dance class. I'm trying to live fully in the present, and not be consumed with worry about my elevated tumor marker and what that probably implies (retake test March 30).

Today my husband and I drove to our cabin to "get away from it all" for a few days. The weather's still a bit cool, but hopefully, all the rain has stopped for a couple of days and the sun will peek out for us tomorrow.
Love and hugs,

Today I went to a movie with a friend, we laughed a lot. She brought the best home made brownies to share. The sun is shining, the wind is mild, it is a good day!

Today I visited with a friend I have known for 60 years. We first met when she was 5 and I was a "baby" of 4. This morning we drank capucino and laughed at old jokes. My friend is in a nursing home. She had a stroke 5 years ago and has been immobile on her left side all this time. We cherish our friendship!

Such a beautiful day. 75, sunny and breezy. So I took a walk on the beach, felt the cool sand in my toes and again realizing how lucky I am to live by this wonderful body of water with its different hues of blue, the fish are jumping and the dolphins are showing off. To top it all off I didn't get pooped on by a seagull. (common occurrence). Having a great day!

It's a beautiful, cloudy, rainy day in Idaho. Up early and took my best friend out for his morning potty in the back yard. Great to inhale the clean, early morning air. On the computer now, in my robe with my coffee, planning a railway trip through the Canadian Rockies.
