Staying Sane

I have indeed decided to continue writing a blog for my own sanity. I am glad to be able to discontinue using Caring Bridge as a way to help me connect with other people while I was struggling to deal with my "bump in the road" but I still wanted to continue writing. Even though I have been declared "in remission" the battle wages on. I need to continue fighting to keep the cancer "in remission" and I think journaling helps me to stay focused on being positive, eating healthy, and just leading a more healthy lifestyle. I think being able to use humor to "always look on the bright side of life" is helpful to me and just maybe I will be able to help someone else who is struggling with their own "bunp in the road" or maybe just give someone a lift who is having a bad day, week, or year and needs to know that they are not alone; that no one's life is perfect. Some one told me early on in my battle with Cancer that everyone has their cross to bear and that's very true. When I start feeling sorry for myself I think back to that and I know that I need to pick myself up, dust myself off, and get on with my life because she was right, there are much worse things going on in the world than me having Ovarian Cancer. Till tomorrow.....
