Thank you, 2011.
December 31, 2011
am sitting here on New Year’s eve trying to think of something profound to say. The year is about to pass and there must be something good to say of 2011. Yes, there is: I made it.
I had full expectation at the start of 2011. Each year I can only hope for a full remission so I can continue to experience the blessings of life. Thus, it is with that feeling that I say I am grateful I have made it this far.
My friend, Noreen, wrote something wrote in her post here about being ‘Normal’. As she completed her therapy, our lives have continued. There are those who are still on chemo therapy, gone to vacations, got married, had kids, and passing of family and friends. I remember coming out of medical leave, twice, and my company is still there. Yes, life goes on like being ‘normal’. But it need not be, because you can make it special, unique, or even meaningful.
That’s it!
I find joy in seeing people change for the better. Whether it is a change in diet, picking up for new relationships, or even taking up running. It gives meaning to all the bad days I endure due to chemo. Somebody is waiting for me out there and that is enough for me to get up and run my heart out.
Happy New Year, everybody!
Cheers.
P.S. Skye, thanks for your Christmas post. Love the pics.
