When I look into the mirror I see a survivor.
I don't think about anything but living.
Well, that's not true because the farther I get from cancer, the more hopes and dreams I let creep in. When I looked into the mirror my illness, I wasn't that bald person staring back at me. I didn't recognize myself.
My body had let me down, and I didn't want my soul to escape. People responded to the way I looked. I hated the pity i saw in their eyes as much as the fear. The body is back to its orginaly state, but the soul has taken on the wonderful layers of a survivor.
Now I celebrate Bad-hair days Bushy eyebrows Stubbled legs with razor burn.
I celebrate Blened flavors of peanut butter and chocolate Sweet lemonade through a straw Greasy hamburgers with bacon.
I celebrate Whining children Shouting and arguing Pulsating music and barking dogs.
I celebrate Making plans Dreaming The hoping that goes with having a futore.
I celebrate life.
Mind you I did not write this but I wish I did!! But I give these words to my mother who IS a survivor!!!

I used to live in a perpetual fear of losing things I had, or never having the things I hope to acquire. What if I lose my hair? What if I never get a big house? What if I become overweight, out of shape or unattractive? What if I lose my job? What if I am disabled and cannot play ball with my child? What if I get old and frail and have nothing to offer those around me? But life teaches those who listen, and now I know:
If I lose my hair, I will be the best bald guy I can be, and I will be grateful that my head can still stimulate ideas, if not follicles. A house does not make a person happy. The unhappy heart will not find contentment in a big house. The heart that is merry, however, will make any home a happy one. If I spend more time developing my emotional, mental and spiritual dimensions, rather than focusing solely on my physical self, I will be more beautiful with each passing day. If I cannot work for wages, I will work for the Lord -- and his benefits package is unmatched. If I am physically unable to teach my child to throw a curve ball, I will have more time to teach him to handle the curves thrown by life, and this shall serve him better. And if aging robs my strength, mental alertness and physical stamina, I will offer those around me the strength of my convictions, the depth of my love and the spiritual stamina of a soul that has been carefully shaped by the hard edges of a long life. No matter what losses or broken dreams may lie in my destiny, I will meet each challenge with dignity and resolve. For God has given me many gifts, and for each one that I may lose, I will pray find ten more that I never would have cultivated were the course of my life to always run smoothly. And so, when I can no longer dance, I will sing joyfully; when I haven't the strength to sing, I will whistle with contentment; when my breath is shallow and weak, I will listen intently and shout love with my heart; and when the bright light approaches, i will pray silently until I can not pray. Then it will be time for me to go to the Lord. And what then should I fear?
This was written by David L. Weatherford and I thought it was very powerful and so I wanted to share it with everyone.

Well I haven't told you about the babies in awhile so while they are asleep I figured now would be a good time!! While most of you know my almost 5 year old, Anthony, he is just being a normal 5 year and ignoring everything that he is asked but when it comes to actually helping me ~~ the boy is on it!!  And for my baby, Skyler, he is now 8 months old and getting more teeth and so I have decided that he will go on formula until he is a year old -- not too long!! He is getting very brave about letting go of things while he is staying up and thinking very hard about taking that first step without help!!! He loves his refried beans and if I do not give him any when we are eating I get SCREAMED at!! True stuff man!!  I am doing better trying hard not to do too much but it is hard because I can not stand for my kitchen to be messy but the rest of the house I really could care less about!! I went in there to clean and I got busted by Anthony -- he went and got my hubby and hubby told me to get out of the kitchen and that he would clean it up!! I about fell over -- he never cleans it!! So I don't go there if I don't have to!! Is my heart broken -- Heck no!! Mini-vacation for me!!!!!!!  So now this is what I look like in the mornings before hubby and Anthony are awake...  Mind you I do not look like a bear!!! That's it for now...update next month!!! | | | |
