One Year Ago Today At 3:15 P.M.

Hi KDR. Love that you are in a good place about your cancer. I was an absolute mess for a long, long time. Every year on my anniversary date, I felt low, cried, remembered every horrid detail. Then one year I realized that it was time to "turn my head around". I was sick of giving this #%^& disease any additional negative power over me. It had taken enough! I started to think, with gratitude, that I'm still here. I'm capable of loving my family, my kindergarteners (former teacher). I'm living! This Nov. 1st, it will be 28 years since my diagnosis---and I have to be glad that I didn't use all those anniversary dates and the time in between to dwell on cancer.

Congratulations to you KDR! Here's to many, many more anniversary dates!
