Weak this weekend from an abscessed tooth I watched the rain as
it was whipped around by the wind forming abstract paintings on our lake and mused
about my experience Friday night at a “celebration of life” for a fellow cancer
thriver who is facing her 6th bout of cancer in 30 years. Surrounded by friends, family, and fellow
cancer survivors she smiled, gave hugs, and moved like an angel around the room
touching all of us with her hope, and love.
Cancer has a way of pulling people together in communities of caring,
compassion, and courage. But the
strength of these communities is built from each member’s capacity to care for
themselves, for you can’t care for others unless you first care for
yourself. How will you care for yourself
this week?
