Garden parties🤗Desert treks
In life ~ we all experience obvious happy times & extremely dry spells, whether we have #cancer or not ~ if we're realistic/wise, we'll Embrace BOTH》 Why? Because there ARE Blessings in both pleasant & unpleasant life experiences
Our lives are everchanging; fun parties are usually short & sweet, but a difficult desert/wilderness journey "seems" to have No End in sight & the "good" in them may take longer to find, see & accept⏳
Go w/the Flow 🎉💖🏜

Keeping 1 step ahead of all your everyday duties, alongside your unique medical needs IS daunting @ times; but Don't forget to put some FUN in the mix every single day!
⚠️If U have issues w/getting housework done: learn to live w/a less immaculate house or ask someone for help; if U don't agree w/your doctor's treatment plan anymore: Discuss it or get a 2nd opinion; if you're becoming a hermit: take baby steps to Get Social👯♂️👯♀️

GREETINGS Warriors👯♀️ How well do U pay attention? How carefully do U listen? How wisely do U respond?
The past 2days, Ive done NOTHING ~ I havent left my apartment; Ive limited noisy distractions; Ive paid special care to nurturing my body, mind & soul. WHY? Because I Needed To.
When our OverAll well being starts going off kilter, our body may 1st "tell" us w/a whisper. Please dont wait til it SHOUTS📣
so ~ Pay Attention, Listen & Respond Wisely❣

We may make dozens, if not 100's of choices every single day. Sometimes we make wise ones, impulsive ones or anything in between.
As I often say here ~ Everybody's life is unique, whether we have #cancer or not. Inevitable consequences ensue from our choices & That is universal though.
I want to encourage U today, to make WELL THOUGHT OUT decisions whenever it's possible; especially where Anything is concerned w/your THRIVING as a Cancer Warrior🤔
BLESSINGS💝
do Less ~ get MORE🤲
What's going on here Exactly? U know U have more free time on your hands now ~ What will U do w/that luxury (because it IS a luxury)?!!
Pls fight the urge to fritter the time away when there's SO much *QUALITY* Life yet to be lived. On the flip side, pls fight the other urge to go on your merry way as if YOUR unique #cancer experience hasn't changed what U can Now handle physically/mentally/emotionally.
ponder This and you'll know Next what to do⏯

There's a lot to say about extremes: either, being too Hard on oneself or too Easy. Neither is beneficial in life, whether we have cancer or not.
KEEP setting goals ~ KEEP achieving some; KEEP struggling w/other ones; KEEP failing & then, KEEP trying again. Yes, KEEP LIVING whether newly diagnosed, in treatment, in remission, in advanced stages of #cancer
Seek & Find YOUR balance between, Not being too hard or too easy on yourself.

The weather has warmed up considerably where I live ~ it's supposed to be in the low 50's for the high today. So, I'm walking to the bus stop to take the regular bus/trolley to my monthly medical oncology appointment. That's about a 20 minute walk roundtrip which will do my body some good🚌🚶♀️
A regular routine helps, including keeping our medical appointments but be flexible enough to adapt to changes such as taking a nice walk on a beautiful day🌞
Blessings😷💜🌸
