Small Steps
Taking life day by day gets easier when you remember to appreciate the small things. :-) And it gets better when you remember to smile. Oh, and take lots of cute pictures. :-)
Awww...I once heard this piece of advise and just started implimenting it: Everyday I take a piece of paper and put a line down the middle. On one side I write good and the other is bad...Every time something nice happens or my older one behaves or is cute I write it on the good side anything frustrating goes on the bad side. At the end of the day I look through it. This way I get to remember all the nice things that happened. and about the "bad" I'll either feel justified for being so tired or revel in the glory of muddling through another hard day...Try it, it's great!
What a cute idea for a photo! May you and your husband walk those precious little feet someday to her chupa. & laugh a lot meanwhile until that awesome day! Meanwhile, our hearts and thoughts are with you!
I can be contacted at twinklebrite@yahoo.com This is a blog of the journal I kept when I was a 16 year old teen with cancer.
It sat in my drawer collecting dust for a long time until I decided that it was important to get my story out there.
Whether the reader is here for inspiration, support, a laugh, a good cry, curiosity, or by accident, I'm glad to be of service.
I learned from this challenge that Hashem put before me and do not regret going through it. I will never know His reasoning, but that's not my job.
My job is to put myself out there and be there for anyone who needs chizuk. My job is to show the world that cancer can be a part of someone's every day living without taking over their life. My job is to show that there is a life after cancer as well.
That was then. I am now.
So if you feel that reading my blog/book has made a difference to you, then my journal has already more than served its purpose.
