I am not dying of cancer, no, I am living with cancer.
You see what I did there? That's soooooo deep, yeah. See how empowering that statement is? How it makes me not a victim.....but rather as someone who is experiencing a situation.....no negativity attached to it..mmmmm........and just simple - Living not Dying. Go me for feeling like I have invented a great cancer mantra it's probably all over the web already and I didn't actually make it up (haven't googled it yet) I read one years ago "I have cancer but it doesn't have me" well I am putting it out there....... I think mine is better!
The sun shone all day long today and it was properly lush! I have caught up with friends and family, had some epic games of badminton (sweaty), done a salsa class (awesome), got wonderfully fed with veggie curry by my little brother..(yum) and booked plane tickets for Spain- yeah baby!!!! Top day!!!
Suffice to say my slightly rubbish mood has lifted and life is good again, in fact haha here's another inspirational thing I made up today...ok so you may or may not be aware that the 'youth' today have a commonly used acronym 'FML' meaning F@*K My Life - cos you know it's so bad being a teenager having your whole life ahead of you, fresh skin, good health, no responsibilities etc (bummer) well anyway my acronym is 'LML' yessss!! In yo face smelly teenagers!! Love My Life! Blimey if it wasn't for this pesky cancer my life would be pretty much perfect. I just wish it hadn't taken dying to start really living!! But I am just so grateful for what I have and knowing that I am privildged enough to have the opportunity every day to experience love, friendship, the ocean, the elements, good food, fine wine, laughter, energy, movement, riding my bike, loving my dog, seeing my boy growing up, reading, chanting, watching shit on I-player, planning the weekends, painting my nails,texting, snoozing, dancing, OMG my gratitude list is as long as my arm.......I should shut up and go to bed!!! OMG ...BTW FYI LML.....LOL :)
