Hi Cathy,
Thanks for bringing up this topic. I think back at the time before I had breast cancer and I realize how depressed I was. I remember resigning myself to just being a facilitator for other people to live their lives. For instance, I just would do what my kids and my husband needed to have done so they could live their lives. I had no consideration for my own life and my own needs. I would just struggle to get through every day.
Now everyday I wake up, I am sooooo grateful. I see now the flowers and hear the birds. I don't try to do everything for everyone else. I realize I have a responsibility to make my life happy, fulfilled and productive. I think life is movement at the most basic level. Every cell needs to be able to freely move and stay healthy. While I was depressed, I shut down a big part of myself and just crawled inward and did not move enough. Now when ever I'm starting to feel down and depressed I don't let myself stay there long. I get up and move. I just do something different. Anything that changes the energy and keeps me moving inside and out. Sometimes it's challenging, but I know I'm much healthier now and I now I'm enjoying my life a whole lot more and I'm not afraid to just keep moving. So thanks again for bringing up this subject. It's really important for me to remember each and every day to enjoy my life!
Thanks,
Margaret
