I am soooo excited this year for Thanksgiving.....and Christmas to boot! Gone are the years of complaining about how I will get everything done, and how tired I am (before BC). I feel like a little kid again- so excited, "eyes wide open", and feeling the meaning. I rarely say this, but thank you breast cancer, for making me feel alive again, and remembering whats important in life. Most of all, thank you God for blessing me in so many ways- more than I can count.
Love, Kelly
