Something Has Changed

Bea Health, Positive things, , , , , , , , ,

I cannot believe that my last post was on March 15, 2013 after completing all treatment.  Time flies!

In the last 30 days, I have dedicated my time to organize things at work and at home. It feels good to have some sort of peace and normalcy in our lives. Each day I feel stronger and with more energy to the point that I started running again.

My hair is growing back, although I cannot tell whether my hair will be curly or straight; it is a mystery. Bea v2

Even though I have been busy with work and visits from my parents and friends, I have spent time thinking about what has changed in my life since I was diagnosed. Certainly, I have changed:

  • Each day I stop for a moment to say thank you to God for the gift of a healthy and fulfilled life.
  • I smile more and say good morning to other people more often.
  • I no longer wear wigs and I am happy looking like a Marine.
  • I like bold colors and designs which are now part of my wardrobe. Welcome yellow, orange, light green, and fun outfits!
  • In conversations I am now a listener.
  • I am more assertive and I don’t put up with any nonsense from crazy/negative people.
  • No more “sugar-coating” things. (Honestly, I was tired of that)
  • I am playing my piano and guitar more.

Tomorrow is April 15 and I am turning 34 years-old. I feel blessed, happy, and excited.

I am surrounded by love.

Thank you for reading. 🙂

  6. Pienso que no recibes mis comentarios, por alguna razón porque la última vez que pusiste un blog, te pregunté si querías que os trajera desayuno, y no contestaste….Estoy muy contenta de recibir noticias tuyas y sigo con deseos de llevarte desayuno. Abrazos. Cristina Maass

  15. Amiga ya te me adelantaste a los 34, pero no por mucho tiempo, en unos pocos días te alcanzo, jaja. Ya sabes que te tengo siempre muy presente, que te quiero muchísimo y que no me canso de decir que eres una persona que admiro por su fortaleza y optimismo. Te mando un abrazo muy muy fuerte por tu cumple. Que la pases muy bien y que Dave te consienta mucho.

  25. Creo que hacer eso todos los días, nos hace valorar todo lo bonito que tenemos en la vida. Y uno de esos regalos es conocer a gente tan valiosa y valiente como tú, Betty.
    Te mando un abrazo muy apretado y adelantado de cumple, aunque mañana te mandaré otro. Que este nuevo año de vida te traiga muchas cosas maravillosas porque eso y más te mereces.
    Te quiero y no me canso de decir que eres un gran ejemplo a seguir y ser tu amiga es un gran honor 🙂
