    I have learned to not take life so seriously and to enjoy the little things. I learned that my family has a fierce love for me (not just immediate family) and that they know how to rally around and lift me up when I don't feel like being lifted up. I learned that God is good in both the good and the bad times (I already knew this but cancer brought it more into view). I learned that I was more vain than I thought I was (maybe not a good thing but I did learn it!) That time spent putting things off I want to do is not time well spent I need to do the things that lift me and mine up! There are many other things I learned that were good but these are a few. I want to end with that I learned there is an amazing group of caring and supporting survivors out there on this board that all though I will not meet most of you I am glad I have you in my virtual life!
