Anyway I have started to see friends again. And to my surprise, they have asked me very little about cancer. We talked about everything else. And it feels that my world is getting back to normal after all.
So today, after my daily morning walk, I felt really happy and in a good place. I pondered on what made me happy today. Here goes:
1. I'm alive. Despite a little body and bone ache, I feel great. My skin is returning to a healthy colour and I don't look grey anymore. My hair is growing, slowly but surely. I'm regaining my strength.
2. I have a great family. A crazy hubby who has a good heart and is very generous with me. A daughter who is growing up too soon but has progressed so well through the years. My dad who is awesome and visits me weekly. My siblings who are always there for me.
3. I have loads of wonderful friends. I have started to meet up with them and will continue to do so. Maybe they hate to talk about my cancer too as it can't be easy saying the right things to a person who has been through an illness.
4. I can work when and if I want to. No pressure or stress. Just focus on getting healthy again.
5. I have the time to catch up on my reading and writing, and to start studying any subject that interests me. I can even go back to starting a hobby like painting.
6. I'm half way through my Herceptin treatments, and can't wait for it to be over so I don't have to visit the hospital every 3 weeks.
7. Online shopping. I can't seem to get enough of exploring all the e-stores out there. Love it!
8. Marathon movie-watching sessions on Netflix.
9. I love hanging out at home. There are days where I can stay in and not bother to step out at all. All I need is at home.
10. My time alone makes me happy. I have so much to work within myself. As we know, happiness is an inside job!
