The New Normal

I am feeling back to normal, well almost....  What is normal?  This Wednesday will mark 8 weeks since my diagnosis and life definitely is not like what it was before I found out that I have breast cancer.  A few minor changes...  (1) I don't work out for now, however, I hope that will change this week, (2) I have a temporary IV placed in the upper right side of my chest which has given me two scars (never had a scar before), (3) Should I state the obvious about hair loss?, (4) I am constantly poked and prodded by needles and feel like there is a doctors appointment around every corner, (4) My ailments change daily depending on what toxins are being so nicely distributed through my body, (5) Everyday is filled with support from my incredible family and amazing friends, (6) I find myself smiling all the time and half the time I have no idea what for, (7) I see the beauty in the small things which I don't think I really ever understood, (8) Assuming it is not a sick day, I wake up looking forward to all new blessings the day will bring, everyday for the last 8 weeks has been jam packed with so many new things and new people, (9) I enjoy the journey of learning how to defend my body against this disease and I look forward to sharing all that I learn with you to help you live a life without cancer and disease, (10) Incredible things are happening in my life from something that has been unthinkable really, getting breast cancer at 32.  I can't wait for the day that I am breast cancer- free and more importantly,  for the person that I will become on the journey.

So, the new normal is day by day, everything healthy and enjoying + finding the meaning in moments.

I have had my blog for 6 weeks now, I hope it has been as helpful to you as it is to me.  Already there have been 1100 views of the blog which is so exciting to me. Thank you for your support and love.

Today the family took me to brunch at the Four Seasons to fatten me up... It almost worked.
