    I admire YOUR positive attitude

    Laz, you've always been so positive and uplifting to so many on this board.  I have admired you from afar for that.  I have sensed your concern/fear/worry growing the last few weeks.  I have found so many kind people on this board who have lifted me up as a caregiver.  I cannot really offer any advice since my husband's surgery was done very quickly due to a large tumor causing a complete blockage.  You've had time for treatment, reflection and probably some nerves are setting in for you for the "unknown".  Just take it one day at a time, don't worry too much about the future, but look forward to it instead.

    Good luck tomorrow, you will have many people sending prayers and good wishes your way.

    Creating a fulfilling life

    Instead of focusing on the disease, I am actively working on

    - Spiritual growth (neglected most of my adult life)

    - detaching from my love of world politics (out of my control and depressing)

    - being on purpose with creating the relationships I've always wanted with friends and family

    - doing the things I've always wanted to do

    - laughing every day

     

    By doing these things, I am inviting peace, joy and anticipation into my life so that regardless of what happens with this disease, I will enjoy life and have no regrets.  Whenever I hit a low, I find that faith and family always bring me back to center.
