Valentine's

Happy Heart Day!

That is what I have, a happy heart.  Thank you for all the times you have filled it, comforted it.

We all have angels guiding us.  They look after us.
They heal us, touch us, and comfort us with
invisible warm hands.  What will bring their help?
Asking.  Giving thanks.

no news is good news (?)

I took a break from chemo...and a break from cancer.  Have had the luxury of days when I do not think about it.  What a gift.
So, that explains why I have not posted in so long. I have focused on living my life and not on reflecting about cancer world.

I still cannot believe how blessed I am .  Who gets diagnosed with Stage IV lung cancer and still be here to take a  break 9 years later?  wow.

I let so much go undone, unsaid, un-thanked... I am trying now to catch up.  So, if you have sent me something lovely and did not hear from me.  Please know how much it meant.  I have really been made aware of how much I did not do, now that I have had the chance to get the damn chemo drugs out of my system and a bit of fear out of my heart.

So, I am taking a deep breath.

hugs,
chris
