Early Morning Run

Good morning world. It’s 6:40 and pitch black outside still. I must be a little delusional. I planned to run 5 miles around 6:15 and thought I would go early so I could go to Pilates at 9. I started last week and loved it. Great core workout.

How Am I Battling cancer?

Someone recently asked me how I am doing “this”. What is this? I guess battling cancer. Truthfully, I think everyone would handle it the same way. I don’t know any other way to do “this”. I guess the answer is that I am trying to live my life as normally as possible without any stress. I’m trying to exercise to keep my body and mind physically strong.

Don’t Give cancer “The Edge”

Being negative or Debbie Downer isn’t going to help me win. It will fuel the cancer in my opinion. For me, there’s one choice and that is to win. I’m not a super competitive person but I do feel the competition with this one. Saying why me is not productive. I have it and I have to deal with it. If I wallow in the whys and what-ifs, my brain will allow the negative thoughts to creep in and take over.

Not Questioning The Why Of cancer

There is faith. I believe in God. I believe that God chose to give cancer to me, I don’t know why but He thinks I can handle it. I can because He is with me. I feel so strongly about that. I have given “it” (cancer diagnosis and treatment) to God and I am truly at peace with it. As a result, I feel strong. There is good that can come out of all of this. There is.

Chemo Isn’t For Mosquitos

I haven’t wanted to jinx myself by sharing the following thought out loud.  However, some of my local friends can attest to the crazy amount of mosquitoes that have been around recently from the weekend of rain we had a few weeks back. Hopefully, we will have a little cold snap and get rid of all of them. Historically, mosquitoes LOVE me. I get bitten often and they swell up like crazy. I have been bitten once in the past several weeks. ONCE!!! which makes me so happy. Could it be that the mosquitoes are turned off by the beautiful poisons in my body killing the cancer? Now if you are one of my local friends and you have heard that these aren’t mosquitoes that bite, please don’t share that with me. I’m happy in the little bite-free mosquito world I’m living in.

It’s 7:00 and still pitch black. Hmmm, might be a Pilate’s only day.
