People are afraid to say it. Cancer. It has such negative shadows cast upon it. Death looms over it. Yet sometimes I feel I wouldn't be seeing the world as I do these days, without having it, cancer. It makes one thankful. Thankful that I have a loving and supportive family. Thankful that I can appreciate the smaller, beautiful things in life. A wonderful scenic view. My children laughing. Nature at it's finest whether it's raining or the sun is shining. It makes all the irritating small things disappear. It helps you realize what is important again. Although I never thought I had lost sight of those things, I think now it's only magnified their importance. I will never say that I'm happy to have this horrifying disease, but I will say that I'm thankful. Thankful to be on the road to recovery.
