Annual Checkups.
Every year DH and I get our annual medical exams, dental checkups and teeth cleaning. I get my annual pap smear and meet with my gynecologist. Today I had my annual mammogram. It takes around 5 days before I get the results on that. Last year there was a problem and I had to be retested. Thankfully, nothing was wrong. But hey, it's now a year later and while I wait for the results, I've got the usual thoughts going through my head.
When you start to think about 'what could go wrong' you begin to look at your current situation a whole lot differently. Right now, I really don't care about the price of gas or how much money I am spending on food. I just want these five days to pass quickly. I just want to hear nothing but good news from my doctor. I want to get on with living the rest of my life.
If everything would stop today, I can honestly say that I don't regret a thing. I can also state that I accomplished and achieved every single thing I set my little heart out to do. But now comes the good part. This is the part when I can see my daughters get married. I can finally one day hold a little baby and see my legacy being passed on. And oh! Those wonderful, more-to-go trips to Italy. I don't want to miss any of those.
Is it Friday yet? My life is still calling.
And so it goes.

Life is too short to worry sometimes. I have to remember that A LOT.
A friend is 31 with breast cancer, diagnosed 8/2007.
I am grateful everyday for my health, family, and friends. And I am fortunate to be blessed.
Truly she no longer worries about money or paying her bills. She is responsible, but it seems to take a back seat. Granted if I were her, I don't know if I would be so responsible.
My daughter was diagnosed with breast cancer at age 25. She is now 32 and just had a baby boy.
She is very responsible, and it makes me feel sad in a way because of the kind of carefree life I have led, never worrying much about my health, has been denied to her. She seems to be out of the woods, but there is no telling with breast cancer, which can always recur.
But we are so happy for her and for ourselves.
