Blah Blah Blah...

BLAH... BLAH... BLAH!!!

A daily blog post.  It begins with a thought, or more likely, a question.  I'm curious and that's a good thing.  In my recent battle with cancer, I've had many questions.  The one weighing heaviest on my mind is, "If my alkaline diet was supposed to protect my cells so well - why didn't it?"

The answer I keep coming up with is - "Because despite your best efforts, you are not God.  God will always be God."  I still believe in clean eating, but I also believe that bad things happen to good people because nothing and no one is perfect on this planet.  It may seem like very simplistic logic, but I'm not a deep thinker.  Childlike faith tells me that stuff just happens - and instead of telling my small God how large my cancer is, I'm choosing to tell my small cancer how very LARGE my God is!  

I'm fortunate because the cancer was caught early.  There is very little chance that it has spread and that is good news.  Since it is contained, the odds of a full recovery are outstanding.  Some surrounding nodes were taken just to make sure, but I'm confident that they got it all. 

I covet your prayers right now.  The surgery did leave me a little weak but I am determined to return to all of my normal activities as soon as possible.  My personal wellness quest has not ended just because of this hurdle.  I'm more determined now than ever to drop my extra weight, and honestly believe it might be easier to do so now that the cysts are not there to make it more difficult.

Unfortunately, even with good health insurance, I still had a $1,000 deductable and since my policy renewed on the 1st of April, I had not met very much of it.  The hit that my bank account took was almost as hard as the hit my health took.  I'm not complaining because believe me I am grateful for my insurance. 

Not to sound overly bold, but if you need someone to write for you - for any reason - please consider hiring me.  Back in March I picked up some work but things have drastically slowed down in April.  I'm still recovering but I think I could still do a little bit of work - not a lot - but some. 

Cancer has taught me that you do what you have to do to survive - whatever that is.  I gave myself about a week to cry and scream and rant and rave about it.  Then when I got it together emotionally - I got it taken care of with surgery.

Although these bodies are so very fragile, our minds have to stay strong, or we won't survive.  I have to stay positive no matter what! 

I'm not giving up, and I'm not giving in - ever - to cancer or social networking hiccups or friends who claim to be friends until I get really sick and need them - then they just dis on me.  That's not cool, you know - bailing on someone just because they get cancer.  I know some people don't know what to say, but that's simply not a good enough excuse.  Real friends stay and love and support no matter what.  What a heck of a way to find out who really loves and cares for you.   

I forgive them because I don't want hate in my heart toward anyone.  I don't have the time for it and quite frankly I don't need the extra weight (I have enough extra weight, thank you very much).  Hey - I will cherish the good times we had - the laughs we shared.  Have a nice life.  Be happy!!!  I plan to be happy!  Life will get better one day.  It really will.

Live... Laugh... Love.  That's the plan.

So...  another blog post.  Blah blah blah...  life goes on.


Have a very happy BLAH BLAH BLAH DAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
