CANCER UPDATE: Chemo tomorrow. Tomorrow marks 14 straight months of treatment. I always think a little too much the night before chemo, and sometimes I just want to share some of that. I was diagnosed in June of 2011 with Stage 4 incurable cancer. So as Im in my third year with this stuff, I realize how many important and wonderful things I have learned. The average life expectancy for someone with my type of cancer is 5 years. Of course in my book, thats up to God not the doctors. Its funny, how life gives us a reality check so that we can sometimes see the mistakes that were making, and mistakes we have made, and allows us to become the kind of person that God wants us to be. Let me tell you not to wait for your reality check, to become the person that you should be. Make a decision to become that person now. Forgive always. Love unconditionally, even those who seem un lovable. Always give. Look around you every day and see who needs a kind word, a hand, or just some love and understanding. We all have hurts. Ive learned the best way to heal yourself, is to help heal somebody else. We cant keep looking at our own life and the circumstances that are unsettling to us. We have to give without expecting anything in return. We should love others all the time. We should find someone everyday to compliment. We should be thankful on purpose. You know, when theres a chance that you wont ever get old, the here and now becomes much more important. You dont wanna waste one minute feeling sorry, feeling hateful or feeling depressed, holding grudges, gossiping and thinking bad thoughts of other people. I have learned that you cant be pitiful and Powerful at the same time. God did not allow me to have this cancer so I could sit at home on the couch, and feel sorry for myself. Nothing happens by accident. My mission now is to not let this illness define who I am, but to bring me higher as human being. Ive learned that dying of cancer does not mean youve lost the battle. The battle is won by the way you choose to live, the manner in which you live, and by letting other people see you, in the midst of the battle with strength, peace, courage, love, confidence, tolerance and perseverance. I love being alive , and I thank God for every minute that I have the opportunity to be on this earth, and to be able to show others that God is my strength and my peace. When the time comes that I take my last breath, what I want people to remember about me, is that I have my Fathers Eyes, and that others could see God in my life, because of the way I chose to live. Whenever you find yourself complaining about small things in your life, think to yourself........ am I going to need a reality check before I learn to be the kind of person that I should truly be, or am I going to make the choice to do it now. Just remember, anyone who Kneels before God can Stand before any man! Peace and love to you all!
