Remind me to quit complaining...

Maybe I am not complaining on the outside, but on the inside, I am pissed off! I went to get my lab work done again yesterday to check my liver enzyme levels. They were still elevated. BOO! Elevated enough for the doctor to want me to get a CAT scan...this week or ASAP. 

Simmer down. I am picturing that the results will net nothing and the doctor scratching her head in disbelief. I want to come through this test with my arms held high as the winner. F* this side effect. One med that is supposed to keep me from crappy cells growing, promotes other issues. 

Collectively, let us take a moment to be still and know HE is God. I need to breathe deeply and get in my relaxed place. Go there with me and pray for the results to be clear. 

Item #185: Say something nice to someone that annoys you. Shock them into being less annoying. Ha! Just kidding. You will probably just shock yourself. They will not know the difference.

And drink more water!

I love your guts!

Tears of joy or frustration?

Frustration. I am tired of cancer prevention, in the form of medication or multiple medications, result in other types of damage and even more cancer. Damage to other organs, your well being, state of mind and lifestyle.

Frustration. Enough said.

I love your guts!

Adversity

In the face of adversity, the way we handle ourselves and others will show the world our character. Now, I am not sure if this is a saying but it sounds pretty darn inspiring.

Today, many people close to me are facing adversity in their lives. While I am not a proponent of sharing or airing personal items, they will remain unidentified.

Be the first one to show some compassion - with a simple smile, a greeting, or simple wink of the eye. Make someone, even in passing, feel better than they did before they saw you.

My request of you today is simple. Forgive and move beyond your anger because you do not know the adversity someone is facing.  Be the blessing.

Item #4815: I was able to help lift someone up with constructive words that helped them walk a little lighter. Tomorrow, I hope someone will do the same for me.

I love your guts!
