How Time Flies!!

I can't believe it's been over a week since I wrote on my cancer blog. Maybe it's because I'm pretending that this chapter in my life is over. I know it's not gone, but the unfun part is over, of that I am convinced. I know this because last week I jumped into "precancer" life with both feet. Took off my hat, drank alcohol, went out, danced, got a tattoo, so I'm good. Yes, got a tattoo. If you know me well or long, you know I was adamantly opposed to tattoos. Judgmental, I know, but come on I'm from Texas and they pride themselves on being judgmental and cocky. It's ok, I'm trying to learn from my mistakes. But I totally "get it" now as it relates to tattoos. I wouldn't get one just to get it, but I LOVE it and every day it reminds me to love with a little bit more compassion and kindness. To be a little less uptight and a little bit more fun. To go and sit at the beach and skip the ironing. See, these are things I would not have done in the past. I am very good at my job, I am on top of all things at home at all times, but now I don't worry about it being perfect. I worry more about whether or not my children are getting a good education and are learning to laugh at the small things, I want everyone I know to have to skip the "lesson" with this and just let me tell you. You don't need to go through all this that I went through, so love more laugh more and just be happy!! (wait isn't that a song??) It sounds so sappy, but it's so true. The tattoo was a chapter ending for me or maybe it was a chapter beginning, depending on if you're half empty or half full and I've always been half full, so it's a chapter beginning.
