THIS IS IT! has been my mantra since Kenny Loggins wrote the his song in the 80's. I was touched to see it in your post and had to pull it up and listen to it again. It is such a wonderful reminder to stop doing what you don't love, being with people you don't love and to see every day with joy, excitement and enthusiasm. If I haven't told you before I will do so now. You are a bright light and gift in my life. Love you!!! Sparky

Reading your words helps me connect back to my mother when she was on her cancer journey more than ten years ago. I appreciate it more than you can know. Given how precious every day, and every ounce of energy, is for you, its beautiful that you are willing to share some of that with the world through your writing. Iā€™m exceedingly grateful for the reminder to pause and feel life as it is, right now. Sending love and gratitude your way šŸ’•

I love reading and hearing your words here as you create such a vivid picture of lifeā€™s miraculous beauty in the midst of challenge. Although there is no cancer card in my deck, that I know of anyways, I appreciate your take that it has its perk. BRILLIANT!!! The perk of being stillā€¦ noticingā€¦. Letting goā€¦

Letting go moreā€¦noticing moreā€¦healing stillness more. Thatā€™s the card right there that puts cancer in its powerless state. Thatā€™s the card I want to hang on to, without distraction, but boy, itā€™s challenging sometime. Thanks for reminding meā€¦ for inspiring meā€¦

And thank you for sharing. You remain in my thoughts and prayers dailyā¤ļø
