I went to fitness this morning – and that’s about all I did – went.
And Vandie said, “That’s okay. At least you got here. Good for you for coming.”
I did half the fitness routine and had to stop.
And Janet said, “That’s okay. Listen to your body. Some days will be better than others. Good for you for trying.”
I got frustrated and cried.
And Vandie and Janet said, “That’s okay, Stacey. You need to be kinder to yourself, more gentle. Be patient.”
So, I got through the class – did the stretches and went home.
On my drive home I felt fantastic.
By the time I arrived at home I had decided to go for that walk I missed this morning with Kevin.
I walked slowly. But I made it.
And I said to myself, “That’s okay. Tomorrow will be easier. Good for you. You did it.”
Thanks, Vandie and Janet, for turning my attitude around so that I can have a great day!

Stacey you look FANTASTIC! I love your hair!!!!!
I think it’s “normal” to have days you can and days you can’t. It’s probably hard to pull from ‘before cancer’. But you likely had those kind of days, albeit for different reasons. ‘before cancer’.
I LOVE LOVE LOVE that saucy look in this header picture!!!!! 🙂
Ha – thanks for the “heads up”. grin. My hair is getting more comfortable now that it is getting thicker. Yes – I sometimes find it hard to believe I ever had down days before cancer. Thanks, Colleen. Feeling better really.
“Feeling better really” was the best line I read all day. 🙂
And actually – haven’t needed to brush my hair for 9 months now! Imagine. Pretty easy to keep.
That’s a good way to look at it!
..yup. Nor have I needed a hair dresser for 9 months. Interesting to total how much money I’ve saved.
Yes, it would be interesting.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Stacey I haven’t combed or brushed my hair in ten years! 🙂 ❤ Welcome to my club!!! 🙂
It is tempting to keep it at this length for that very reason. But I think I can one up you – in that I also have not had to use a razer in 9 months!
I am one upped for sure!!!!! THough I am sure you will be chuckling when you do have to. 🙂 Healing. Worth laughing with.
Yes – and I am thinking the eyebrows may need a little work soon too.
Good news when the body starts returning to it’s old state of maintenance requirements ! 😉
Guess I should write a post soon too… hmm… too busy in the garden these days.
Ahhhhh! THAT sounds better than coming inside! 🙂
Stacey-love your pic..you looked so cute..:-)
Thanks, pepe! Hair is returning – happy.

Oh, pepe – me too, me too. I feel like I am alive right now and it makes me very very happy.
