Today's good thing (and we are only half way through) was 5 minutes deep relaxation after 2 hrs of gym and yoga. My knees will be yelling tomorrow, but oh, the sense of calm and achievement.0

What a beautiful thing to post Mel. It really gets us thinking of all the simple things that make us smile and for all the things that we have in our lives that we hold dear.
For me, today I'm so happy that my husband and I have a weekend to ourselves and for the glass of bubbles tonight that I have been looking forward to since the start of my treatment. ( to celebrate the end of my 1st stage )

- Hi there Melclarity, these are some little baby rompers I've been busy with. Found this lovely plain, yet classic pattern and simply couldn't stop at one.

@Ally Jay a lady after my own heart. I always have a knitting project on the go and carry knitting in my handbag. Most that I know that given up on knitting or they are cleaning out Mum's stuff I end up with patterns and wool. I have oodles of wool waiting for me to get into. Need to finish a couple of projects before I start the next one.
Click clack! Take care xx3 -
Today I looked forward to my TaiChi class with a wonderful bunch of people. Today I actually felt good for the first time in two weeks, it was such an exhilarating feeling. I even managed to live in the moment most of the day enjoying the feeling of "well". Today I felt I could get through this, even though I am only starting the ordeal.3

@Unicornkisses sounds like a great day! So happy for you...and that's the whole point isnt it? Inspite of just starting, you were able to enjoy the moment. Tai chi is something ive always wanted to do! Its on my list! Hugs xo1

I have been barely functioning before the Bnca summit few days I have been on. Ha ha, you didn't think I had a care in the world the way I post but I am a bit of a fraud and things do get me down. The summit has been great but even then one session got a bit much for me and I excused myself and hastened back to my room for a cuppa. Dragging my feet back to the session, I came upon a honeyeater bird just sitting in a bush beside me and he hadn't noticed me and I got a really good close look at his beauty. Even as I passed he didn't bother flying away an it just gave my heart joy to have such a lovely unexpected nature encounter. My regime is, keep it simple, don't look too far ahead and just evolve into the new me, there's no rush.

@Brenda5 awww nah I think you're human! Glad youre enjoying the Summit too! I love nature so I know exactly how you feel, how beautiful! Love it! Simple, simple, simple...I think so too, I strip it all back and I just find more peace in those simple things now, doesnt take much to make me happy at all! Right on...no rush at all...xo1

My husband always gets me through each chemo session . He is my rock. He took me out to have coffee the other day when I was feeling a bit down and not feeling like being there. As I was sitting in the coffee shop I noticed a small child sitting near us who just kept smiling at me .she had such a lovely smile, I soon snaped out of the gloom I was feeling and had to smile too. It is definitely the little thing that get us through. I enjoyed lunch with friends last week and when my daughter in law asked if I liked to come for baked dinner on Sunday night, I think life is pretty good.4

Hey Wendy! I love hearing about these wonderful husbands! It is something I definitely missed through this journey...so its so incredibly lovely to hear! Interesting isnt it something as simple as a child smiling at you can bring you to be in just that moment! Friends and family well youve had a great week! Hugs xo1

- When my cat sneezes and sticks his tongue out and it just stays there
- When toddlers in hilariously padded winter clothing that makes them look like waddling marshmallows fall over
- When sunlight streams through my window, the blaze shattered across the walls by swaying leaves
- Watching water fall, fountain, lap, and crash
- Watching something I'm working on grow and being able to hold the thought "this will be something" in my mind
- When BCNA forum members are super cheeky
