Whew… I’m glad there’s only one Monday per week. J That last post may go down as my longest
ever. I had a lot on my mind
<obviously>. The thing is, I’m a
really sensitive, compassionate person.
I feel things. Possibly more than
most people. It doesn’t take much to
make me teary. And when someone
does/says something unkind and it affects me, well, I take it very hard. That sensitivity has only increased since
bringing a little man into the world. I
have trouble watching the news. I have
trouble with television shows and movies that depict disturbing images and
stories. Those images stick with me and
bring me major anxiety. Partly why I
hardly watch any television and stick to romantic comedies. J
Anyway, I’m not going to apologize for who I am. And even though those friends suck (screw
them), I know things could be much worse.
I was reminded how small and insignificant my friend problem was
yesterday. One of my friends from high
school was diagnosed with cervical cancer shortly after giving birth to her
daughter. Yesterday she told us that she
has a rare form, which isn’t responding to chemotherapy. Despite that, she remains hopeful and spends
as much time with her daughter as possible between treatments. She is the epitome of strength and I admire
her courage. Her husband is
participating in a bike ride for her and her friends are all raising money to
support them.
As I drove to work, the sun was shining. The temps have warmed a bit. I even dressed springy today. J
I’m feeling hopeful.
I do believe in miracles. Please
say a prayer for my friend, Celeste, and her family. She deserves to see her daughter grow up.
