Retirement not for the faint of heart.

It has recently occurred to me that retirement is not for everyone. It requires the ability to entertain yourself, which I have come to find out not everyone possess these skills. I could give classes on crafts to those retirees who do not possess these skills, and they would get good stuff when done. Would that mean I would of come out of retirement myself.?

Another Honeymoon, all without sex

I am experiencing another "honeymoon" period. This is a timeframe before something is about to happen, usually something you're not looking forward to. I have a week before I start chemo. I can't even imagine the new world I am about to enter. But, I'm prepared... I have 8 new pair of jammies....

Be careful what you wish for!!!!

Ok Ok Ok Ok ..................Well, I got my wish. I get to stay home, no more work! Yeah, ah no no no.. I have always known to be careful when you throw out a wish to quickly include, " I wish I could lose some weight but not through an illness" And when I would dream about being retired, I would include but "I'm luckly to have a job because I need the money" blah blah blah. Well here is how my "wish" is playing out: I'm on disability for at least 1year, so I have money coming in but I'm fighting breast cancer . Based on my previous wish to lose weight, I bet I won't lose a pound. And the icing on the cake is my mom who we all know is Italian, really dislikes bald and fat. Gee Mom don't look now but ..........

Pain pills and pillows are my new best friends.  And yes, flowers DO make you feel better.

I am blessed.

This  pass week I have been encased in a cocoon of love. I have been showered with love. From the home cooked meals, to the flowers that come in the mail and hand delieverd to the wonderful cards and reading materials that arrived from far and near I am loved.

It is so true that there are many sides to a situation and this is by far the most wonderful side to be able to realish and roll in.

I've been in:  my jammies, bed, in arms and have been given time to relax and just be.
What healilng  powers these be.

From all the phone calls of well wishers how could I not heal.

To all my family, friends, the Universe and God I  thank you.

The Honeymoon Stage

The honeymoon stage is a timeframe where your life is carefree example: you have a job but you have not started actually working at said job.

And this is where Ii find myself for the next 10days. It has been requested that I return to a more in depth mamogram. So they can "look" at something.

Since I am not the type of person to worry about something before it happens I am not stressing out or going crazy over this but................it has got me thinking..things are ok until they are not.

My Aunt was just told she has a brain tumor. She was fine one day and the next day she's not.

It makes you take stock of your life. What have you done, accomplished, what is important.
