I think I have the past and present down. I still struggle with the future. My past was a great time of learning. I treated my body and mind like it was invincible.
I found out this was not the case.
My chemotherapy taught me to be grateful for the little things. Like the ice water I am drinking now.
My surgery amd effects of it taught me I am stronger than I though. Even if I do complain and gripe now and then.
I go to work everyday wearing depends. Ive grown used to it. I did get a promotion with stage IV colorectal cancer. How does that happen.
As for the future, I dont know if I'm going about it right. I have excepted my cancer and have excepted when God sees it right, he will bring me home. I have excepted that as well and almost welcomed it. No poor me feelings there. It's odd.
Your strength and tenacity shows in how you approach your diagnosis.
We all gripe and complain from time to time, that's life with a chronic condition but it's how we show up, how we wake up every day, because of the new day. It's what you do every day that counts because it's who you are and as you rightly point out, you have no control over how this ends in the future.
Your promotion represents your perspective on life, a positive one, and that's all that matters, now, this moment on the Knife Edge of Time.
I can see by your comments that you are an absolute Titan Patricia.
