The day has finally arrived......this is the day I have been focusing on for 5 months. It is crazy! The last treatment that I will EVER receive (I hope)!!!! I have gone through so much and I do still have a small journey left ahead, but the hard work is done. I am so happy I could scream......
Here are the top 10 lessons that I have learned during chemo......
10. Hair today, gone tomorrow. (Hair is just that....hair! You can change it, dye it, or lose it all and you are you at the end of the day. Be thankful for that! Love yourself for who you are on the inside not what you put up on the outside. Then you can work on making the two match up.)
9. Memory is important. (I honestly just forgot what I was going to write after that so I guess....POINT proven)
8. Attitude is everything. (Cancer or no cancer the way you look at things is vital. Those who can see the "half full" side of things will have it way easier. Join us on the "half full side" in finding the good and lessons out of EVERY life situation)
7. People are amazing. (The kindness of strangers and seeing the love of your family and friends everyday is like God patting you on the back and saying "KEEP IT UP". You are all amazing each and everyone of you. You can all rest knowing that you were a part of keeping me going especially when I wanted to stop)
6. Humor and Laughter really are the best medicine. (If I haven't proved this to you yet... nothing will. Laugh everyday!)
5. Be good to others. (Strangers or family, good or bad, we are still people here. Tell people when they are doing something well. We all like to hear it, so give it out too! Be kind to everyone you meet and you'll soon see how much kinder people are to you. Make the first step!)
4. Money and things can't come with you. (Everyone knows this, but needs a reminder now and then. Those things really aren't as important as we think they are at the time!)
3. If you need help...ASK! (This was especially hard for me and I still have to work on this one. If their are people around offering to help..let them. Thanks to my sister for forcing help on me at first and making me learn this lesson no matter what.)
2. Live like your dying. (I know...cheesy, it's a song, but still very true. Even if you only do this for a day...Do it. Look at the world's beauty, say what you need to say, and do what you've been wanting to do. No more road blocks just go after what you want.....Key: You need to know what you want first!!!)
1. Family is everything. (Love your family and count your blessings each day. No matter where your life bends and twists they will be the ones that are there for you! Some are crazy, some are loud, some are just exhausting to be around but they are yours all the same so be happy that your life's not lame!!!!)
Ok better go head off to the last spa day!! You can look at this as I have made it to the top of the mountain and now with the radiation I will be headed down to the other side! Gonna keep posting my crazy Bald Woman stories so don't worry your daily dose of humor will still be in tact!!! Have a TOTALLY AWESOME DAY (Yeah 1985!!)
woww!!
