thoughts of a Cancer survivor…as what i always say..Inspite of…LIfe will always be A WONDERFUL JOURNEY…

…more importantly, in my weakness, God’s strength is seen.

What I have learned in this journey ….

• That nothing is impossible with God….God is so good!
• The Principles of Attitudinal Healing: The essence of our being is love. Health is inner peace. Now is the only time there is and each instant is for giving.
• To speak and live with your heart.
• Family and friends are a wonderful part of making life worthwhile.
• Prioritize what is most important but learn to be flexible.
• Be on top of your health and treatment. Knowledge is power.
• Focus energies for total healing.
• Not too dwell on the negative but simply count your blessings.
• Do activities that you’ve never done before.
• Worldly possession is not everything. Happiness and good health are everything.
• Never fear to share your anger and affection.
• Seize the moment. The future is now. Laugh and love.
• To embrace living with dying.

Death is certain to all of us and it is emotionally difficult to accept. As one learns to accept and face mortality, we should plan ahead. I think of every possible scenario. From this treatment to my next break, for a much awaited vacation, to the next birthday celebration and wonder if I will be around for the next Christmas. Morbid as it may sound, I want to have a so-called "Living Funeral" or better termed as a thanksgiving celebration to see all those who have touched my life on way or another. Have been preparing my "Planning Ahead" folder with lightness and candor. Am I scared of death? I have no fear of death itself but the process of death meaning the pain and indignity of suffering….

Incidents like these serve as a reminder to all of us that we live on borrowed time and as such should take each and every day as a true blessing! Life is truly so short…..

More often, I have to be strong for my loved ones, for I see through their eyes the pain in their hearts witnessing what I am going through.

But inspite of affliction, I consider myself blessed to have the gift of time. Hence, the gift of life.

So how am I coping and enduring? Only through God’s Grace!!!
