Thankyou for your nearly winter wishes. Sometimes I long to be COLD without the use of an airconditioner!
The Biggest Morning Tea is a great initiative, however it does remind us of our BC time. As time goes on I am sure that I will be able to once again organise or attend.
Living in a small town of less than 3,000 tends to make everyone in town aware who has been diagnosed with cancer and to a large extent it makes for a difficult time in moving on or coping. Something to do with the endless questions and advice and our often and frequent absences from town.
The comment was actually said by a longtime "friend" who is part of "The Tuesday Ladies Who Coffee". We have been meeting every Tuesday for over 10 years. The coffee and gossip mornings are good for my soul, however I never expected to be held as a "cancer battler".
I am lucky in that I live some 10kms out of town on a small acreage lot. My nearest neighbours are 5 acres away and we are all of the mindset that we prefer our privacy. We must do as we live in splendid isolation. As I am fond of saying, "if it doesn't happen inside my gate, I don't need to know about it".
I will admit that I find events such as The Biggest Morning Tea and the various adverts on TV for cancer fundraising or how to prevent cancer, difficult.
