My Two Year Anniversary

Well April 7th was my two year anniversary of the very first chemo I had. It may seem odd but I am giving my doctor an anniversary present. I asked Gary to stop by and get me a box of those yummy Fairytale Brownies. I will bring them to my office visit on Monday. Then after I hand him the brownies I will tell him he won't see me for a while. He is so awesome, he will laugh and totally agree(I hope).

I will have my chemo treatment right after my visit. I have been pretty mellow this week. I really think my body is tired. I haven't had a whole lot of energy and my drive to get out and do has been on the low side. This break is coming at just the right time.

I do find that when I get outside with the horses I am so much happier. I have all kinds of energy. I rake and scoop and make sure the chickens have what they need.I am ever so thankful for my animals. They are my energy, my strength, my "I want to get up and out and do stuff".

I recommend that you FIND the thing that makes you want to DO. Discover the place or food or hobby that makes you sing and dance. Then DO IT !!!! Don't sit and think about it do it! Even if it is for a few minutes, just that little bit will be the catalyst for more energy and more desire to get up and do more.

Also, be sure to acknowledge your doctor and his/her team for what they do. Remember I said it was very important to trust and respect your doctor. Well bringing goodies is a great way to show them you appreciate the care the take with you. I love my team and try to show it every time I come. I wear a big smile and come with laughter and love and sometimes goodies.

It looks like we will have another great week of weather.Get out there and make the most of it. Do something extra special this week just because you can.
