ONE YEAR TO BE BACK TO MYSELF? One year ago this past week I finished my cancer treatments. They told me to give myself a year to feel like myself again. What is "myself"? If they are talking about having the energy to be as active as I want to be, I've been there a while, but the former "myself" will never be back. Cancer doesn't impact my physical self anymore, but my mind still aches from it. I want to forget so it doesn't hurt anymore, but I want to remember so I keep my priorities straight. Anniversaries will likely always be a time to reflect. My diagnosis anniversary is in early December. This particular anniversary doesn't seem like one that I would hold on to, except that it comes at a time of year when there are a lot of breast cancer walks and rides. Last year I spent this time celebrating. This year I spend it reflecting and praying for those who are still in the fight. Pictures from last year's celebration.... Party
