Time to Go Out and Play! Sunday, July 25, 2010

I am fine, I've just been attending classes, seeing some of the area, and have kept the computer tucked away when I am out of the hotel room.

Today, I intended to stay here and finish my blog BUT...
It was in the low 80's but the humidity was only in the 50's. It was positively wonderful and refreshing today so I "went outside to play". LOL! It was wonderful!!! I also saw a movie this evening.

My cancer diagnosis made me realize that I should not take things or people for granted. I now try to embrace every day and do all that my body and my mind allow me to do. I work to really see the people I love for who they are and let them know constantly that I love them no matter what.

You know I have bad days, and I have since the 20th as well. Even the Pollyanna in me stuggles hard to keep a positive attitude. Fear of the future creeps into my thoughts at times but I try to be present for today only and not project something I have no way of knowing. "One day at a time" is a good saying for a good reason!

Keep checking back. I am such a perfectionist at times that I just can't let my feelings flow without going back, rereading, editing, and making sure the grammar, spelling and punctuation is as correct as possible! Once a teacher, always a teacher! LOL Thanks a bunch for your patience!
