Shake, Shake, Shake it off!!

Sometimes someone will say something to me that cannot go unshared. The following quote came from someone I know who has fought the hard fight of battling cancer and is winning (YOU GO GIRL!). She said to me "Keep your chin up - life is a challenge - when dirt begins to pile up on your shoulders weighing you down - shake it off - get up on top of it the pile - and keep your head up". Now tell me…is that not the best? When you read it, how big was your pile of dirt? My pile was HUGE! As a matter of fact, my mind had to take an aerial view of the pile - that's how big it was. I like this saying very much because how true, if you don't shake off that dirt, you would be consumed, constricted and eventually unable to move. Same as in life. If you don't shake off the bad, you will become consumed by it, you will start to feel constricted by it and eventually unable to move ON.

I've heard a few other good quotes throughout the years. For example: Smile through the rain, rainbows await. Each time I hear it, it assures me that with every rainstorm comes a brake. Be patient for that brake in the storm. Life is not measured in the number of breaths we take, but rather in the moments that take our breath away. How true is that? We are breathing each day, but does it really matter if those breaths aren't memorable ones?? And of course my ALL TIME FAVORITE - When life hands you lemons make lemonade…then brake out the tequila and salt! I could go on and on…do you have any you would like to share?? I know you do! I know I have readers! Come on…share away…don’t be shy.

On another note. Mike has not heard back from the Doctor regarding the approval of the chemo for the states. STILL…WAITING…

Will keep you posted.
