I am a 35 year old wife and mother. Diagnosed with stage thyroid cancer in June 2009. Finally in remission in January 2012. Other than my obvious health issues. I love life! Now more than ever. I've learned to appreciate the little things,to relax and go with the flow. The people who have been by my side every minute through the bad have proven their solid friendship, and those who faltered may still be in my life but they also have proven themselves, albeit in a very different way. I'll never hold grudges because quite frankly, those people are not worth the amount of time it would take to hold on to the hurt/upset feelings. So I move forward with my life choosing to surround myself with the good ones!
I've learned a lot because of my illness, and I am thankful everyday for those lessons. Sometimes it's about the positive you derive from a bad situation. I remind myself everyday of the good I have in my life.
Oh, and in case you don't figure it out while reading my blog. My kids, "Aussie" and "Roo" are the single most important thing in my universe. THEY are what has kept me going when it felt easier to give up. Them and some friends who are comfy with dishing out some tough love and honesty.
