Survivor


Happy Birthday to my special husband John.

According to Livestrong, you become a survivor the day you are diagnosed. I recently passed the one year anniversary of my diagnosis of breast cancer. Every day is a new blessing that I am very thankful for. My belief in a loving, trustworthy God; the beauty that surrounds me in nature; the love of family and friends; the joy of new friends; all these things I'm thankful for. There is a special lady named Laura who by her example, is giving me the courage to uncover my head. You have to understand that I have pretty much always had long hair. In fact, I was born with longer hair than I have right now. So it is a bit difficult for me. But I'm getting there.
