I admire your honesty, Sid. Gratitude is essential and will get you through, but I believe it's okay to grieve your losses on occasion. You're not an island , and you're in one of the hardest of places. 🫶🫂

This is a thing of beauty. I wish it hadn't reminded me I need to jack up my sagging house, though.

I agree, Sid.
When I went for my 1st chemo appointment for breast cancer, I met a woman in the waiting room who had just had hers. We connected, and she stayed with me for my 4 hours of chemo! We're still friends 9 years later. I call her my breastie.

Yes. I'm much older (60) than you, Sid, and I know this is a big worry for you. 🫶After my 2nd dx I had to quit working. My partner is retiring in 2 years, and I'm panicking about our future financial situation.

I'm always second guessing myself, so I'll go back a few times until it hits me...I can print this out. 😊

Oh, man. I guess tomorrow will be our pack-up-the-garden day. I'm never ready for this.

First year ever not cursing this damned practice. I'm in hospital, and woke at 1:30am thinking, "aargh! I only got three hours sleep!". And then heard a nurse mentioning the time change. Four hours! I'm stoked! Carry on, good people. Your complaints are all valid.

Yes. Cancer "gave me the opportunity" to finally learn about settung boundaries. The trick is to continue using them when I'm feeling better. As my psychiatrist says, "It's never too late to pull the cancer card".

Good afternoon!
It's 12C here at 4:46pm in Centretown Ottawa, Canada.
Mostly sunny. Going down to 6C tonight. I fed the neighbourhood birds and had a nap. My partner is making us omelets.
Grateful ATM for this life.
Bonsoir 🫶
