You know, since September 17th, I feel like my perspective has changed on many issues: I still consider myself one of the luckiest people on earth to have the terrific friends and family I have PLUS the most devoted husband in the world and of course, the best dogs in America. But I can also see other things more clearly.
I guess this kind of perspective change is natural for people diagnosed with cancer or suffering through any type of tragedy. Initially, you think the world is over and you are doomed. Elisabeth Kubler-Ross wrote a lot about the 7 stages of grief and I think have experienced most of them . But the joy is that I can see beauty and love and have a better understanding of what is precious about life itself. Not many people are enabled to change their eyeglasses and see life differently. So in that regard, this disease has been a blessing.
Hope you and your family and friends have a wonderful Sunday!
Hi Peggy-Thank you for sharing such an uplifting perspective . . . and thank you for being YOU! We are so glad you are feeling better and that you are enjoying being at home. Did you take the beautiful photo from your deck? Your house is the perfect place to recuperate before heading to Florida! :) Michelle
