ME LUCKY?

I would not consider myself lucky to have had cancer three different times. I would not consider myself lucky to now find myself with Stage 4 cancer. But I do consider myself lucky. I reread my last Blog “Dark Cloud” and realized that it sounded too much like doom and gloom. I am not like that. I am a very optimistic individual. I feel that I am lucky, why you may ask, well I will tell you. (No doubt).

I am lucky because I have a husband that wants to travel with me. A husband that I have been with for one month shy of 50 years. A husband who I still love after all these years and a person who is my best friend. A husband who was able to retire when I retired so we could go off into the sunset traveling. Lucky because we are financially capable to travel as we wish. Lucky because I and my husband feel well enough to travel, no pain, nothing to hold us back. I am lucky and I know it.

I am leaving Monday to South Africa. I shall be there for a month, come home for my Pet Scan and infusion and if my luck holds out I will then proceed to Vietnam, Thailand and Bali. I plan on continuing for as long as I can. I shall go with a song on my lips, a smile on my face, love in my heart and gratitude for all that I have. Lucky? It is subjective, but I choose to always remember all that I have to be thankful for. For me I see my life as good, fulfilling and filled with joy. I do have issues that I have to contend with on a daily basis, but those issues will not cloud my vision. I see myself as lucky. It works for me.

Live life to the fullest!! Life is not merely surviving!!!!
