I need a lot of Vitamin Sea today.
Cancer treatment has failed and it's more chemo for me.
I'm smiling thru it while watching the sun and listening to the surf.

Quick post regarding extending grace and kindness.

I had to be in the roads today during Hurricane Helene. I didn't want to and would have rather stayed in bed...but I needed to be at radiation today. So I braved the storm ...trying to ignore my pain and other issues.
I was driving the speed limit...but I guess it wasn't fast enough for guy in the red Volvo. Who, during a torrential downpour - pulled out in front of me, slammed his brakes on...then rolled down his window and flipped me the finger. Obviously, he has more important places to be than I. Here I am trying my very best to stay alive for my children. Then I started to laugh. My cancer odds aren't very good (stage 4 terminal) ...but I think I'm going to possibly outlive that guy...and have a better time doing it.
So I smiled and felt grateful that I could make the trip thru a Hurricane.
Don't let anyone rain on your day. Cherish even the hard times and downpours!
