Dear pre cancer self
Don't wait until you have something go wrong in your life before you need a wake up call.
Stop and breathe.
Go on more date nights.
Play that game with your kids when they ask.
Put down your phone.
Remind your BFF how much you love her.
Walk the dog more.
Buy yourself flowers; you deserve it.
Don't stress too too much about the 10lbs. Or 20lbs. Feel happy in your skin.
Lick the bowl.
Swim with your kids.
Have more dance parties.
Don't worry as much. You didn't worry so much about your cancer returning and it did and you are dealing with it. You are stronger than you realize.
Use your good china.
Take that cooking class you wanted to.
Read more.
Wean out the bad. Keep the good.
Hug whenever you can.

And i'm sure "post cancer" self will do all of those things! One thing you never hear from anyone who has gone through this, is boy, I wish I spent more time working!
ReplyDeleteMy mom taught me (via her actions) long ago to take time to enjoy life. Family is what really matters. Don't worry about what people think about you, don't worry about a little extra weight... don't sweat the small stuff. Keep on blogging! ;)
