Andi, I totally agree. I just mean that sometimes the things that I think are so important may not be important at all. My life chores may be skewed from what my simple mind thinks should be done and may be something altogether different! One of cancer's gifts has been learning to let go of what I assumed was so! Rather than try to get my point across, I'm loving just being on the learning end of the stick!
It has even seemed in the last few weeks or so that a "few...very few" of my little grey cells are coming back to life!
Keep tuning in please, ma
