Thinking of the past decade or so I am reminded that I was unsure if I would even see 2009, here I am in 2020 feeling stronger and more confident than I have since my cancer diagnosis, Over the last two years I have learned to love myself again, be able to look at my scars and be proud of the battle I won.I don't make resolutions, I'm just always grateful to see the next year and my birthday roll around. I will continue to go to the gym, something I have enjoyed over the years and now living across from it I go at least 5 days a week. I continue to walk when I can when the arthritis in my feet isn't playing up. lol I am grateful for living so close the Rideau Carlton Casino where I continue to go and listen to live music, I always feel comfortable going there whether it be alone or with a new dance partner. I'm grateful for the friends and family that have supported me for so long I can't put dates on it, but you all know who you are. Often friends are the family we don't have near by. I'm grateful for my children and grand children that continue to amaze me everyday, watching them all grow and succeed is what kept me going so long ago. I remember being at Aunty Floras birthday in December 2008 and she saying to me, Lassy the color is coming back in your eyes, your going to be ok. She was right, I am doing ok, with my life my decisions and for my future. I am grateful for being able to travel and I have plans for a few trips in my future. So the reason I put the photo of the lit box is that where there is light there is hope, never give up. May 2020 be everyone's best year yet.
Happy New Years to everyone near and far, It is with Love that I wish you all the very best going forward. xo
