sun1.jpgLast night I learned that my latest CT scan is all clear. That’s five years cancer-free, bebe! In addition to relief and I am flush with the feeling of being so happy to be here. Just teh cliche, simple everyday stuff–so glad to be breathing, to be cleaning my kitchen this morning, to be wearing pink. To kiss my boyfriend, to feel the sunshine, to feel the thrum of life flowing, with me in it.

I share that not to make you feel lousy if you’re feeling lousy (not much is more annoying than pollyannic cancer survivors), but to remember that you’re here, you’re breathing and we’re all rushing or floating or swimming together in these bodies, with this breath, with each other, into a brand new day. And noticing that might be the only thing we really need to do today. Yay.
