I just celebrated my 2 year cancer-versary. In some ways it seems like forever ago that I got the call. In other ways, I am reminded that just 2 years ago we were fighting for my life. It was an absolutely whirl-wind.
To celebrate my 2 year cancer-versary, I took my newly curly/wavy hair and tried to put it in a ponytail. It's small and requires a few bobby pins, but it's there! No victory, either in cancer or life in general, is too small to let pass by without a little mental celebration.
The very next day, I opened up a package from my sister that came in the mail. I took out a sturdy, silver bracelet. I got all teary eyed and smiley, because I had seen them before, but didn't know if it was a legit product. It's a small piece of jewelry that tells a big story. Plus, it's from my Gill. Thanks Jill, such a thoughtful surprise!

Also, since moving to Joplin, I've been able to connect with some fantastic women from our Surviving Together Facebook group. Within 5 minutes of meeting these gals face to face, I felt at home. They get it. Looking forward to getting to know these gals better. There is an instant connection.

Lastly, I've been feeling under the weather. I thought I've been dealing with allergies, turned out it is a wicked case of pneumonia. Something Survivors, and all women in general, tend to do is tough it out. I toughed it out too long and a simple cold turned into pneumonia. Ladies, take care of yo' self! Since I've been laying low, I've been doing a little crafting to surprise my new friends with... Glitter seems to make everything, even sick days, a little better.

| So much to be thankful for. I think this will be a great Christmas reminder of all He has helped us overcome. |
