Blogger Party

I have been in remission for almost 3 weeks now. It is great to feel pretty good on most days. I get tired very quickly, but I can handle being tired. I went to see my GYN/Oncologist in Milwaukee on Thursday and got another good check-up. I like that. My days are no longer consumed by blood work and Dr. appointments. I also have the freedom to eat fresh fruits and veggies again. Strawberries taste delicious.
I have been wrestling with how to rebuild my life again. Part of me wants to just jump into life again with both feet. However, I don't have the energy to do the things I used to do. That is frustrating sometimes. We have to work on establishing a new normal. I don't want to give things up because then the cancer takes even more from me. So, I have to save energy to do things that are meaningful to me and let other things go. I have also experienced some fear now that I'm not in treatment any more. I know that sounds odd, but as long as I was fighting, cancer couldn't get me. Now, I know it could come back at any time in any place. However, I know that I can't live in fear and worry. What kind of a life would that be? I need to make sure that I just live for each day and not worry about tomorrow. That is easier said than done, but I'm sure going to make that my goal.
We just watched the video of Charlotte's Web. It was a wonderful, feel-good movie. The ending song is entitled "Ordinary Miracles". The theme is to take notice of all of the miracles around us such as the sunrises, sunsets, shooting stars, and all of the miracles every day. Just the fact that I am alive and doing well is my own personal miracle. I'm sure most people can also think of things in their own lives that are miracles. We can thank our God for the miracles all around us every day, big and small and celebrate them. As the song states, "Isn't it remarkable like every time a raindrop falls, it's just another ordinary miracle today."
