Work went surprising well this week! I was not sure if my body would have enough to get me through this week both physically and emotionally BUT it did! I do feel that the wonderful energy that came from my students and my colleagues had a lot to do with this! It is amazing to walk down the hallway and be given so many hugs and smiles and positive words! That is some of the best medicine!
My students were the best for me because I was able to share with them that I had cancer but that I was going to be fine! They had some interesting questions and some fun critiques of my various head-ware. The faces they made when I had my wig on were priceless! It became a fun game for them to guess what I would be wearing before they came into my room! I have such a great group of students this year with even better parents who have been so supportive of me!
My colleagues have such beautiful hearts! Everyone who came into contact with me were amazed to see me at work and then were so happy to see me in such a positive place. If I can do anything with this disease I want to help everyone to know that it is not a death sentence! It is at times a chance to look at life differently and realize that so much of life is a mind-set! I was a positive person and I still am a positive person who is loving life even more than before! I remember when I was in the hospital after having Katelynn and thinking that I was in Heaven! I was so afraid that it would end. I have now faced so much more and still find myself in awe of the beautiful place I am in even if I do have cancer.
I celebreate the little things that are now huge blessings in making life great! I was able to go out to breakfast with a couple of wonderful friends this morning and have such an awesome time forgetting for a while about cancer. It is such a blessing to have people in my life who give me these gifts! I was also able to run errands that I had been trying to do all week but had no energy. These are accomplishments I used to take for granted but no more!
I pray that I find a way to stay positive even as the treatments take their toll on me. I am so thankful for all those who give me such wonderful positive energy throughout this journey!
