PLANS FOR THIS WEEK… NOT MANY!
YOU SEE,
TODAY I AM CELEBRATING LIFE.
2+ years ago, 12-29-10, my life changed forever with an ovarian cancer diagnosis followed by MAJOR surgery and recovery. Then came another surgery for a subsequent problem. Now there is another and bigger medical issue, but I’m coping.
What I am also doing is making a BUCKET LIST. No, not because I’m dying, but because I’m living. I’m doing well considering and I’m recovering. Miracles DO happen.
There are so many things I want to do before I do die, but there never seems to be enough time, money or energy so I’m making a list as I go and changing that. I’m fortunate that I have already done so many things, but there are so many more yet to do! I no longer stress out over the small things and they were right, they are all small things!
