Hello Friends,
Yeah, I know..it’s been awhile. I have been very busy with life and many of you can relate. I’m working on the new book, a thriller with twists and turns plus trying to finish up my research/notes on the family and cancer book that is due out next year.
I’m knee deep in the rat race. And I’m the one always preaching about balancing daily life and being a cancer survivor. ..go figure….Each step is supposed to be thought out before I make that move, and when I do.. all goes ok, …..BUT there are times that I think I can do it all and rush out there without plans. We all do it…..don’t be shocked! I don’t get enough sleep and I don’t eat right all the time. Finding that balance for my quality of life is a daily chore in itself. But if I want to live, I have to do it. My natural nature is not lazy, so it is often hard to slow down. This puts my body in a ‘push me pull me’ state constantly. On top of that, chemo brain sets in too. At least I like to claim that when I can’t remember anything.
So I keep a daily reminder book and lots of notes to stay on track. I depend on my support team to drag me out of bed and push me to work. Often, they are the very ones that are holding me up, you just don’t see them because they are for my eyes only.
I encourage each of you to set up your own support team. They can be your mom, (just make sure she is open minded) your best friend, (same rule applies) and perhaps the mailman too. What I am saying is that your support team needs to be a positive one. They can’t judge you, especially in public, make you feel ashamed or stupid, but most of all, they must love the new YOU. Because when the dust settles, and you actually SEE what you are capable of surviving, you won’t want to be around negative energy. Stay positive, move forward and you too can be in a constant state of ‘push me/pull me’.
What out cancer!! WE ARE BREATHING DOWN ON YOU FOR THE CURE!!!
Hang in there!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
