One thing at a time!

Lately it seems realistic to me to focus on one thing at a time. I have quit smoking and that's my favorite thing to do! Other than that life has been pretty good. We have been enjoying the holidays! Took in the Christmas Parade and the Holiday Lights. The kids are so excited already. It was wonderful to watch them decorate the Christmas tree. They have drank 2 containers of egg nog in 2 days.

I went to get set up for radiation treatment today. Had a couple of ct scans and got marked up. I was surprised to find out that I actually get real tattoos next week when radiation actually starts. I was told that I will get 25 days of external radiation and 3 days of internal. I was somewhat disappointed today because I was under the impression that my radiation would start today. I am so ready to go back to work and get on with life! I think that cancer really changes a persons perspective in life. I wish that everyone could have this change of thought processes. I have always preached to others that attitude is 90 percent of the game, however I haven't always followed it. I don't take most things as seriously as I used too. I pay more attention to the people in my life and less on things. I do what I enjoy doing and so no to the other stuff! I enjoy my kids more than I ever have. I have started making a bucket list that I will share later. Life is really different, its better!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have to once again say how thankful I am for friends and family. Even my face book friends, some that I have not seen for years are such a big support. I have been thinking a lot about friends who are having a difficult time now! One friend lost her grandfather that she was very close to. One friend lost her husband of many years. A former co-worker is very ill and I cant imagine what his family is going through! A friends father in a coma on thanksgiving! I really question at times why we go through all these things on earth. I feel the reason is so we will really appreciate how wonderful our lives are! I think we all need a reminder every now and then!
