"strength and courage" & "hope and determination"

“United by the daffodil, we will show people living with cancer that they don’t have to face cancer alone”

“To some, the daffodil is just a flower – to the Cancer Society it is a symbol of strength and courage. It says we will not give up, we will fight back, we will beat cancer.”

The lapel pins are symbols of hope and determination; they show support for people battling cancer and honour those who have been lost to the disease.

Join with millions of Canadians in support of the Canadian Cancer Society’s Daffodil Month this April by donning a bright yellow daffodil pin.

YOU LOOK WONDERFUL TODAY!

I wonder how many times I looked like this in the hospital and yet nurses were still nice enough to take care of me and to tell me:  YOU LOOK WONDERFUL TODAY!

My lesson:  Thanks for not judging the book by the cover!

Bushy situation!!!! (became PG rated by request!!!)

They told me I was going to lose my hair.  So I decided to be proactive!!!   No, no, no, I didn’t shave my head, but I decided not to shave anything AT ALL and let everything grow more yet!!!  I thought if we are going to mess with my hair, well, then I will give you more to mess with!!!  AJA! (That’s my way of being proactive and rebellious!!) 

Well, God is wonderful and has a wonderful sense of humor because not only I haven’t lost my hair but now you can call me MISS BUSHY!!!!!  Bushy legs, bushy here and bushy there…. And my eyebrows?!?!?!?  YEAP…. BUSHY!!!!  Well… so much for being rebellious!!

My lesson:  be proactive but have a PLAN B in place, just in case!!!

With a very grateful heart…

Yesterday was a very special day.  I was so thankful in my heart.  Some were celebrating Resurrection and some Passover.  I was celebrating both and; thinking and feeling very grateful for everything and everybody.  Thank you to FRIENDS and FAMILY for all your prayers and thoughts.  Your love and support has been such a motivator for us and it’s in our hearts.  

BIG THANK YOU TO ALL THE NURSES out there!!!  When I think about the many days I spent with some of them.   The many tears and smiles shared with them and the many times they looked at me with a wonderful expression of:  YOU’ll BE FINE!!!!

My lesson:  To always try to thank everybody for everything and anything because we never know if we’ll have another opportunity to thank them again.   Thank you LORD!!!!

Wrong one! (PG rated!)

SO, a hospital story...

I was taken for a pelvic ultrasound.  That means, they check you out with a “camara” externally and internally. 

So, this wonderful Technician, an expert in what she does and you can tell she is very good at it and very professional, but misses the right hole!!!!  One too far!!!

So I was forced to telling an expert:  HEY HEY HEY!!! What are you doing there?!?!?!   WRONG ONE!!!  Come back, not even my husband is allowed there!!!!

We sure laughed, but she could’ve fooled me if I wasn’t paying attention!!! (no April's fool here!!!!)

My lesson: it’s ok to tell even an expert that she’s in the wrong hole!!!!!
