What a Month...

Wow, Its been awhile since my last blog. Life it seems wanted to make sure I know, its not a guarantee. In the month of February, had to deal with the possibility of breast cancer twice over and losing my dog of 8 years the night before my biopsy. To say the least, it was a very trying and emotional time for me. I've been given an all's clear on the breast biopsy, but the loss of my dog Storm is still very sore. See when I got Stormy when he was a pup, it was at a time I had to deal with the results of ending a 7 year relationship and all that went with it. Stormy was my rock, he help keep me grounded, and he also killed many snakes for me.
To lose him the night before I went in for my very first biopsy was traumatic and emotionally crippling all at once. During this time, I came to realise how important it is to do what you want to, should do, or need too in the moment it needs to be done. Because really, tomorrow may never come.

In this past month, my life was like barefoot walking on broken glass and rocks. Along the way my feet toughen up and soon I could talk thru the broken mess of my life to the soft grass. I'm now back in my oh so cute strappy sandals, hooker shoes, and ballet flats, and while they look great they are just a bit tight over the healed scars of this past month.

I for one welcome the pain of this reminder, so I do not forget the most important lesson I learned. Life its not ours forever, so we should live it to its fullest for as long as we are given life.
