To have faith is a beautiful thing. I agree I don’t feel like having thoughts is going to affect who gets C and who doesn’t. We have thousands of thoughts each and every day! But I do feel strongly about being filled with gratitude, because when you are grateful you cannot be negative at all. Grateful for you, grateful for the sharing of your journey, and grateful that you are closer to the finish line with C and it’s annoying infusions. Cure!

My earliest guide in the art of reframing. ♥️

I do my best, but sometimes I have to sit in a room with negative feelings and ingratitude while I work through them. Is that where magic happens? Healing hurts and clearing space for the light?

I’ve reached a place of unquestioning acceptance with C. Wouldn’t you know another opportunity to heal is sitting with me now?

And so it goes!

When your heart breaks a little it cracks - and it makes space for the light to gone back in. ❤️

Wonderful news about you getting treatment. Good things and bad things happen to everybody all the time. They are all learning experiences that help us travel life's highway.

Dr. Called me his favorite troublemaker. 😂

Great news is that I am not making up the treatments that I missed.

I would add, the doctor’s remark could constitute a positive energy exchange. Collaboration? Many hands make light the work. Whatever you’re doing, keep doing it! We’ll continue to cheer and clap from the sidelines.

What “good trouble” were you involved in this time?! And may I say Hurrah for not having to perform “do-overs” with missed infusions. I can hear Tal now clicking her heels and inviting all to dance. I’ll forego attribution of this to sub-atomic particles.

“Good trouble” is my 🩸 which has responded adequately to the shots. What a wonder life is!

Hurrah for meaty blood! And yes, dark times do some. We do the best we can to navigate them - breathe in breathe out. Sending lots of love, K

Thank you Kathy! And great news that I am not making up the missed infusions. I’m still on track to wrap up chemo in August. 🎉

Are your daffodils blooming? I recall seeing photos of them during The Creative’s Workshop.

T-shirt: “Whenever somebody says I look familiar, I smile and say, ‘I do porn.’” 😁

The dog in the sketch doesn't look grouchy, IMHO; more... thinking. Remembering. Trying to remember. "Butterflies... tasty? Not tasty? Hmmm..."
