Four Years



Four Years

It is hard to believe that it has been four years since I became cancer free.  There are days that I feel like it was just yesterday that I was sitting in the chair getting a round of chemo infused into my body.  I still experience many side effects from the chemotherapy on a regular basis which often reminds me of my past journey.  Some of these side effects have become the new normal.  Then there are days when I totally forget about the needle pricks and the journey seems so long ago.  It is important to remember to take each day for what it is worth and to live that day to the fullest.  It is important to surround yourself with happiness.  Smiling and laughing are contagious and are the best kind of medicine to have.  This past Thanksgiving, I ran an 8K with my husband and some friends from the community.  It was a wonderful morning.  The weather was perfect and I ran a nice race.  I am looking forward to making this a yearly tradition.  Thank you for all your support throughout the year.  I wouldn't be where I am today without all of you! Here is to another healthy year!
