Today like everyday , I am Grateful. I am middle aged, I am over all healthy with some minor bumps and bruises I am here alive and kickin. I have all my limbs, all my wits, healthy children and Parents and an amazing man.
What do I have to complain about? Not a Damn thing.. I am happy in love and appreciated, Rich in Love , Family and Values. I am at peace in my life, my soul and am glad to be an American.
Going down south to see my family for a mini vacation see you on the other side <3

Good Morning,
As you sit on the edge of your bed, rub your hands over your face and clean the sleep from your eyes and run your fingers through your hair I want you to not think about today as a stressful day. No matter what comes your way Breathe, Take it easy, enjoy life your freedom the people in your life and all that you have . Because you just never know.. Tell those you love in your life how much you love them hug them love your self, and forgive your self for mistakes that you have made . Because holding onto resentment and to things that you could have done differently? Can't be changed, Let
Go... , Be.. Do... Love yourself and others..
Smile often, Take a chance today on something you normally wouldn't. Try something you never have before like a new food.
Be yourself No matter what. Because today is good day :)

There's No Manual that gets you ready for recovery from cancer. I wish they had one, that would be amazing.. But they don't so you are left on your own to learn and deal with all of the issues that come up as you go along. It's very humbling I have to say. It isn't something that I like to talk about in great detail, But lately I feel like it is a crucial part of MY recovery emotionally , and Physically to talk about it.
I knew because it was on paper that I would have dry mouth, and a weird taste in my mouth, But the things that are deeper like at the age of 44 I'll get thrown into early Menopause, the tiredness that doesn't go away heavy legged, hair loss, that after a complete thyroidectomy and radiation that I would lose my teeth, that My sense of smell and taste have diminished.
All things that you can not really prepare for you are just thrown into the fire so to speak and we all cope differently.
My coping has on occasion been put off, and by that I mean as a mother you are looked upon by your husband and children as the strong one who is strong and family sometimes has problems coping with you not being strong. I fought Cancer, and it looks like so far? I'm kicking it's ASS so I feel stronger than I have I a while.
The journey isn't over I have a bit more to go, but since I am busy convincing my children and husband that I am ok "I'll be fine" Sometimes you lose track of your recovery or the feelings that come along with it.
It's ok to cry, to still be scared I found out, and I have a huge amount of gratitude for life and my family.
I will say this and no offense to anyone that has told someone you love and respect this-- A cancer survivor does not ever want to hear " Well, as far as cancers go thyroid cancer is the best one to have!! " NO.... I'm scared to death, Do Not minimize what I feel by telling me that . I have all kinds of things I am going through physically now and will be for how ever long and as far as I am concerned? The best kind of CANCER to have? IS NO CANCER :)
