Sunshine on my shoulders....


Well,

I am coming up on my 2 year anniversary from when I first heard the words: "It's cancer."6/22/07

When I stop and reflect on all I have endured in the past 730 days I am astounded. It feels so good to not be consumed with the cancer stuff. I feel lighter. And I know I am fluffier. :)

I will be posting less now that I am enjoying the light at the end of the tunnel. Don't get me wrong - I still have issues to deal with, scars to heal, hair to grow and emotions to tend. But don't we all in some form or another?

Thank you with all my heart to each and every person who has followed along with me and left comments and sent cards, etc. It made a difference. You made a difference.

I can only hope that my story may help others in some small way, who will have to do battle with this ugly evil beast. Just knowing you are not alone helped me at times.

I have started another (fun) blog related to my papercrafting obsession! I will be posting many of the cards I create for Little Life Preservers. Please hop on over and visit me at:


So I am still here but not posting that often. (This is a good thing.) (Whoo-Friggin-Hoo)

I am off to find my sunglasses. Need to get used to this light at the end of the tunnel I never ever thought I would see.


Life is good.

Ahh Lesa! This is the only blog I read regularly that I have to say I'm happy, even excited that I will not be reading as often anymore. You took the bull by the horns and you fought it. You are one amazing lady! I'm so happy for you! {{{ HUG}}} So now I'll keep up with little life preserves. You continue to share your love and strength to everyone. You ARE the best, my friend.

I have tears in my eyes reading this tonight. I am so happy you got to the place where you need a papercrafting blog and not a cancer survivor blog. What an amazingly beautiful day this is. whoo hoo! Your story helps people more than you will ever know, my friend.

Sometimes the light at the end of the tunnel is hard to see due to the street furniture in the way. Once you get past all the obstacles and see the light it was all worth it!! I'm so happy to hear that things are progressing so well for you. God knew you could handle it and it made you a stronger person. Life is good and you were meant to enjoy it!!!! (((HUGS)))
