Today was a great day!! I'm wanting to eat again and my taste buds are on their way back to being normal. I didn't sleep that well last night because I was cold. I feel the cold because there isn't enough hair on my head to keep me warm. I have to remember to wear my touque to bed at night. Despite that today was a great day. I've had more energy and am wanting to be out and about. I had a friend drop by with a cake for Valentine's Day. I had a short visit with her and her daughter but even my husband noticed that I was much more perky after the visit. I had a nice visit with my brother over the phone but then my voice started to tire again. When it tires, I start to go hoarse. I haven't tried singing anymore because I don't want to damage my larynx while the voice is still weak. I do miss my music. It is difficult to play "songs" on the piano because my inclination is to sing as well. So I do play piano music but it's not quite the same. Having said that, it's better than nothing.
Another friend dropped off a card with a poem that brought a smile to my face. Humour really is a gift and makes the toughest times in our lives more bearable. I'm hoping to go out for a short walk yet tonight. I'm looking forward to this week when I'm feeling stronger, better and motivated to do things.
One thing I have noticed since finding out I have cancer is that I want to make every moment of every day count. I don't like sitting and wasting my day which is why I do my knitting. It makes me feel like I'm doing something worthwhile. I also notice that I have strong thoughts in regards to other people "whining" about trivial matters. I know that this is a cliche but it is so true that "life is too short".
I'm so happy to hear that your days are getting better. I hope you have a super week ahead. Yes, life is too short, and not to be wasted on trivial matters.
