One of my daily goals is to stay
awake until 9PM. This typically
provides enough time each day to clear an item off my bucket list. Most of the
time I can hit the target – as long as:
:
- I hold off having a glass of wine until 8pm
- I take one or two naps during the day (tough – right?)
- I remain realistic about what I want to accomplish
Admittedly, I am not too objective about the last item. My family, friends and caregivers often
challenge my idea of what is a reasonable goal for the day.
One thing everyone seems to agree on is that my infamous
‘drive’ has been a major asset in my cancer fight. Beginning this Friday, I will be tapping into that ‘drive’ as I
add another item to my repertoire: intravenous chemo treatments since the
cancer has spread to my liver.
Fortunately, this latest development was detected early via
a regularly scheduled body scan, rather than from an onset of physical
symptoms. I feel it is a blessing that
there is a treatment option for me and that I will have all the support I need
to get through the treatments.
"Fortunately", "Blessing", - you continue to have a positive approach. I think that is what keeps you 'kickin'.

You are a rockstar Peggy. Glad it was caught early and I know this will not defeat you. You are too determined and focused to let it get in your way. Shine on today!

Peggy, I just came back from Chicago as my husband ran his first Marathon at age 58, from coach potatoe to running shedding 35 lbs in the process. As I watched and cheered for some 55,000 runners...watching them push through those tough stops along the race, some falling and getting back up some limping along the way in such pain and then watching at the finish line...as they became closer and closer to the line they pushed so hard, exhausted and then the accomplishment the finish! Wow,what mixed emotions I had seen. It made me think of you Peg and the Marathon you're on... to KMA! Peg you are a true Marathoner (if that's a word..LOL!)You go girl...you are doing it! You are so determined and I just know you'll finish this race...you'll reach that finish line!!!
ReplyDeleteGod Bless. By the way...love the pic of you and your husband, awesome smiles! Karin Baugher (Flagstar)
