EVERYTHING I KNOW NOW, I LEARNED ON CHEMO:

 

·                   Life is full of surprises – some good, some, well … not so good.  

·                   Prune juice is really not that bad … once you get used to it!

·                   The medical profession is not for me.

·                   It’s not cheesy to have your own website.

·                   It is possible to live “comfortably” on one income.

·                   The AWESOME POWER of PRAYER.

·                   Prayer is a two way conversation – listening is so important.

·                   Angels walk among us.

·                   There are signs of God’s presence EVERY DAY – we just need to be open to seeing/experiencing them.

·                   Live every day – no, every moment – to the fullest!

·                   Say I love you often.  Same thing goes for giving hugs.

·                   I have so very much to be grateful for.

·                   Your family are the people who love you no matter what.

·                   Family can be your greatest source of comfort and strength – if you let them.

·                   Attitude is everything.

·                   Cherish your friends.  ALL OF THEM … Old friends know your past and your secrets – they can show you how far you’ve come.  New friends know where you are “right now” and can share in your experiences (happy or sad) right along side you.

·                   The best marriages are divinely inspired.

·                   I have the best husband ever – PERIOD!

·                   When it comes to the best medical care – it really is who you know.

·                   BE Grateful.

·                   BE Kind.

·                   BE Humble.

·                   BE your best.

·                   The families living in Red Mill Run are awesome cooks … and just plain awesome people!

·                   I actually can cook (I know this one is a shocker to many!).

·                   The Cleveland Clinic is not on the other side of the universe.  And it is possible to get where you need to go without getting lost.

·                   A well-timed card from a caring person can make all the difference in the world on a rough day.  (and I have a basket full of therapy to prove it!)

·                   “Chemo-Angels” is a tremendous organization.  I only wish I had thought of it first.

·                   My most important job is being a mom and a wife.

·                   The most beautiful sounds in the world: a child’s laughter, windchimes on a breezy day, your spouse saying I love you first thing in the morning.

·                   Miracles can and do happen.
