attitude

It is Friday and I am feeling good! Finally turned the corner yesterday. Managed to stay away from the dark hole this go-round, thanks to the love and care of friends and family.

Wednesday I went to the opening of the cancer resource center at the hospital-mostly breast cancer info, since it was started with a Komen grant...anyway, a friend there mention my positive attitude as a part of why I have lived beyond the year and a half. I hear this a lot (and am happy people feel that way and happy I feel that way most of the time).

"Your great attitude must be part of why you are doing so well." I worry about that statement. I agree that it makes a huge difference in how I am living with cancer. But, there are many people out there with beautiful spirits and wonderful attitudes dying from cancer.

hugs,
chris

    I always remember my folks saying, "Who ever told you life was fair?" I think of that conversation quit often. It has stayed with me many years.
    Today I went with Dad, once again, for his Chemo treatment and was again amazed at all those people in room after room going through the chemo drip process. A lot of them sat and visited with others, a few slept, and some watched TV/read. They all acted as though this was just the norm. I hated how normal it seemed but there was nothing I could do about it but lift them in prayer. As I do you.
    Love ya - Peg
