Cancer post 3
I was in North Carolina for the week, and it was lovely! I was here this time last year and I was a very different person. Much more carefree, much less anxiety, and more energy. Life felt simpler and mortality felt much farther away. I've always been a glass half full kind of person and I'm almost always looking for bright spots in my life. Cancer has been no exception. I will admit that it has been a lot harder to find bright spots in my life these days, but I'm still trying because otherwise life becomes unbearable for me.
