We don't always get what we want, do we? There may be a lot in our lives that we would consider less than ideal. But as those wise life philosophers, The Rolling Stones, reminded us in song, if we just try . . . some times we will end up with what we need.
This week Sheri said she missed the ability to enjoy a good beer . . . but then quickly countered that lament with the observation that Vicodin is a close second. (Stella could be heard sobbing in the corner). Cancer seems to impose constant sacrifice -- on levels big and small (or, not critically huge). What comes around the corner may be beyond our control, but we can be empowered in our response. Even just laughing through the "little" setbacks sets the stage for feeling good, and strong.
How amazing Sheri has been throughout this journey, in all the parts that she can control. Hey Cancer, you can take a lot, but you are no match for Sheri's vivaciousness, her humor, her laugh. You have no idea who you are messing with.
This is the chica who had her treatment this week and then walked on the treadmill and lifted weights. So fierce!!
I hope that I will have similar reports in the last weeks (!!!) of our treatment updates.
And I hope all of you are happy and well.
