It's so nice that life is so ordinary these days for me. It was a good year, this year's relay for life was held on a rainy day in mid June. I did not win the liquor basket, which is a good thing because that would have been weird to win three years in a row. I still get all choked up every time I walk the survivor lap. It's just such an uplifting experience.
I did have a scare earlier this year. I went for a oncologist visit and she thought she felt something, so I went for a mammogram. First I went to get my mom and aunt to go with me. It turned out to be fine, but it was the longest day ever. I don't think you ever get over the fear, once you have been diagnosed.
I also learned that I am diabetic. Found out on my birthday so I decided that this was a wake up call and it is time for me to take a more healthy approach on life. I have lost 10 lbs in 5 weeks and have many more to go, but I figured slow and steady is my best way to approach this. I am also trying to meditate.
I am still involved with the survivor group. It's hard to see some friends having to keep fighting this horrible disease. But I am happy to know them so I guess the best thing to do is to pray for them.
I will hopefully write again before another year passes. Stay well and be happy!
