I know that more articulate and generous people have encouraged others. But my own take is that every person's life is unique and each journey is different. I am incredibly fortunate and I remain positive with a touch of realism. I have a wonderfully supportive family, and excellent pysicians who are experts in the field. The medical faciliy is state-of-the-art with active research and a wealth of the latest equipment. We are financially secure and in a good place. My physicians are very optimistic that we recognized the return spot very early and expect snother remission soon. I feel quite well and have no side effects from treatment. I drive myself there through pastures and farms, enjoying the beautiful ride, the car filled with the wonderful sounds from my playlists.
So all things considered...LIFE IS GOOD, and we are blessed,.
Tofay's quote comes from Emily Dickinson:
"Hope is the thing with feathers that perches in the soul-
And sings the tunes without the words-
And never stops at all."
I will likely continue to post on FaceBook as Carolyn Brittain Powell if you want to check in occasionally. It's no more interesting than averag (and that's a low bar), and it won't have to do with cancer. Just birds and mountains and a thought or two.
STAY SAFE AND HAPPY!
