    My motto for years was

    "Don't eat the yellow snow."

    It was part of a self-preservation thing.

    Mottos and slogans
    I like : "Hold my beer and watch this" which is known as the last words of many southern males.

    And for my PR agency:
    If you're getting run out of town, we'll make it look like you're leading a parade!


    And finally: BOHICA! My choice for the official motto of the colorectal crowd. Anyone else know what that stands for?

    Not quite so serious, but still me
    I have posted a picture on my expressions page. Sometimes visual images do more for me than words. I have been told that I have a bit of a wicked sense of humor, and I really like to look at the good things so I often have to step back from the really serious stuff and laugh even though I am feeling quite beat up by chemo, I am losing my hair, my skin has turned a funny color of yuk and I look so old.

    I hope you enjoy the picture it so so me right now!

    Other Motto through much of this is from Calvin and Hobbs “We're so busy watching out for what's just ahead of us that we don't take time to enjoy where we are.”

    Or just maybe:
    “What fun is it being cool if you can't wear a sombrero?”

    After I'm done with chemo we are going to plan a party, and I am going to wear a sombrero! Pictures to follow in a couple of months!

    Corrie ten Boom said
    This always uplifts me:

    "When I was a little girl, " I said, "I went to my father and said, "Daddy, I am afraid that I will never be strong enough to be a martyr for Jesus Christ." "Tell me," said Father, "When you take a train trip to Amsterdam, when do I give you the money for the ticket? Three weeks before?" "No, Daddy, you give me the money for the ticket just before we get on the train." "That is right," my father said, "and so it is with God's strength. Our Father in Heaven knows when you will need the strength to be a martyr for Jesus Christ. He will supply all you need just in time"

    Corrie ten Boom (April 15, 1892 – April 15, 1983) was a Dutch Christian Holocaust survivor who helped many Jews escape the Nazis during World War II.

    A song on the radio has the line "live like you're dying". That one made me think, as not everyone reacts in the same way. Some give up, others fight like hell, and others start to appreciate everything and everyone around them all the more. I believe the song is referring to the latter.

    Another saying I like is "make roses out of rain" (similar, I guess, to the old adage "when life gives you lemons, make lemonade". Could be considered trite, but it really is s a way of viewing life, no matter whether that's good, bad, or very bad. Cancer definitely is the latter ("very bad"), but I'm still trying to find the roses. Note that roses go through a time period of being bare and ugly with no sight of anything good until after the storms end and then the green sprouts and eventually the flowers.

    One I liked that I (think) I made up is
    "If it wasn't for cancer, I'd say I have the perfect life. If it wasn't for cancer, would I even realize this?"
