What a sunrise!
Hello everyone, I had the opportunity to go in a hot air balloon on Saturday morning and to see the sunrise over Melbourne city. How amazing is this photo. My husband took this pic as I was just enjoying the view and peace and quiet! It was really quiet up there (apart from the firing up of the balloon from time to time!). The 3 am early start to my day was all worth it just to see this sun rise! I've been thinking of our online community and how some of our members been having a really tough time lately with treatments, managing side effects and waiting for doctors appointments and test results. How hard this has been and how unsettling for everyone. The struggle to keep on top of it all and take one day at a time. This photo to me is really reflective and I found myself thinking about each new day, new beginnings, not taking anyone or anything for granted and how lucky we are to see the sunrise every day. Taking the time to enjoy this amazing country we live in, our environment, nature and our family and friends. As hard as some of those day may feel we really need to keep going, I feel very privileged to be able to be part of and share in your online community and hope that this photo brings some joy to you all. Take care everyone.
Convoy!
Was just checking some posts. I was chuckling and admiring some of your network names - they are funny, cute, warrior, mysterious, powerful. And I imagined a movie like the old 'Convoy' movie. All of us network members are driving trucks or riding shot gun and talking on the two way radios using our network names - and we beat the bad guys after many hilarious and scary episodes!
Early Christmas present
Just received a great Christmas present - the new lump in my breast is not recurrence, but a seroma that has solidified to form a hard mass. So I'm not going crazy imagining things and it's not bc again. YAHOO!!! Christmas gifts come in all sorts of shapes and sizes and they're not always gift wrapped. What's the best Christmas gift you have ever received?Time out
I found this in clipart recently as I was looking for something totally unrelated. It sums up my days at present, a mad woman trying to do 10 things at once. We all know we need time out in order to get through this roller coaster but the everyday still has to be taken care of Time to go and head out into the sunshine Take care from Christine
Times have changed
Hi ladies, I wanted to share that today it's 44 years since my mum had bc, she is alive and well 80 years old, independant climbs ladders and works in the op shop. 44 years ago they gave her the most horrendous scars I've ever seen on boobs but still here. I remember watching my dad, I was 12 taking of her bandages and pouring red macurachrome over her. Dad told me once those bloody doctors said sir would YOU like us to reconstruct your wife's breast? My dad said don't bloody ask me there not my boobs! Dad died from dementia 7 years ago on mums birthday and mum said he did that so he didn't have to buy a gift lol. Mum and I reminisced today about life and how far being diagnosed has come. Mum said the Dr told just go home and get on with it and pray you live. Adean
