Day 10
Rough times often become the catalyst for beauty and good in our lives. You just need to keep your eyes open – even in the darkness.
Arrived today, from my “lake peeps”… Love being loved!
People are often surprised to hear that I have a poor sense of self-value (as you continue to read my posts this will become more and more evident). In order to compensate for my introverted nature, I surround myself with extroverts and tend to ride on their coat tails. So it’s no wonder that my husband is one of those guys that everybody loves. He’s friendly, has a great sense of humor, and has a charisma that draws even strangers to him.
We have a lot of friends, but I’ve always attributed that to my “better half”. I’m just a part of the package, and often feel anxious in social situations.
As news of my diagnosis and treatment plan has spread, I’ve been truly humbled and surprised by the outpouring of love that I’ve received. Beautiful cards, phone calls, text messages, and gifts have opened my eyes to the fact that I am loved. Countless people, each dealing with their own crap, have taken the time to express their genuine concern for me. I can’t even begin to explain what this has done for my soul.
They say that cancer changes you. As a “newbie” I don’t really know what types of changes are headed my way but I can tell you one thing for sure. Many of the changes in me are going to be amazing…. beginning with a new-found feeling of worthiness.
