After reading Becky's ideas about cancerversary gifts to ourselves I thought I'd post my foot with my pink ribbon tattoo on it. I did this for myself for my 2 year cancerversary. Actually, me and hubby went together to get tattoo's. He didn't get a pink ribbon though
!! I love my tattoo and it always reminds me of how far I've come. How much stronger I am both emotionally and physically.
Yes, cancer is scary and NOT what we would have picked for ouselves at the time but I can honestly say, I wouldn't change a day of what I've went through. I've been taken down different paths - new doors have been opened to me and I am enjoying life more than ever. I love more now, than ever before and I'm happier now. I honestly thought I was happy before. Well, I was but I'm way happier now. I know that's hard to fathom possibly but I'm thinking many of you can relate to what I'm saying.
Anyway, I wanted to share my tattoo with my her2 friends. I love it. Soon I will remove my foot from my posts - but for a few days I'll leave it.
Hugs to all,
Mary Jo
