It's been a while

We have been so busy. Carra has started playing softball. If you need a light hearted day, you need to come and watch. These girls are hilarious! They are pretty good too. We have also had 2 weeks of Spring Break, which I believe is too long! I have completely enjoyed my time with the girls though. We have had a lot of lazy days, staying in our jammies and watching movies. Our new favorite is Enchanted. It is a must see! I was also able to read the Lance Armstrong book. My brother, Alby, sent me this book after I was diagnosed. I wasn't ready to read it until now and I am so glad that I did. I have had so much support throughout this ordeal, but I know that learning to live the rest of my life as a cancer survivor is something only I can figure out. Reading this book has helped. I know I am a different person then I was a year ago. I don't think I have quite figured out who that person is yet. I know cancer has changed me. This is definitely a life journey. I know this sounds weird but I am happy that I have been able to experience this. It has taken me to a place within myself that I may have never found. Anyway, back to Lance Armstrong. I feel a connection to him. Mostly in how he tackled his odds. Of course, I have great odds. He didn't. He writes in his book: "If children have the ability to ignore odds and percentages, then maybe we can all learn from them. When you think about it, what other choice is there but to hope? We have two options, medically and emotionally: give up, or fight like hell." I choose to fight. I also choose to surround myself with fighters. So, if you need to be uplifted, read this book. I am so glad I did. I want to end this with a few words to Debi. I hope everything went well and you are home healing. I am here for you when you are ready. Just remember, "fight like hell."
