Friday Inspiration

Three random things I wanted to share this Friday:

Funny story - I postponed my last dental cleaning bc the appointment conflicted with an appt with my plastic surgeon...so I rescheduled for next week.  My oncologist informed me that I should not have a cleaning or any dental work done during chemo bc of the risk of infection.  So I have to postpone for another three months.  I am a freak about my teeth and so in typical alarmist Sherri fashion I told my husband, oh great, now I am going to be bald, fat (from the steroids), dry skinned, without fingernails or toenails and TOOTHLESS.  My husband's response - Ahhh, my perfect woman!  :)

Beautiful card.  Look at this beautiful card my college friends dropped off with a bunch of delicious and thoughtful gifts:



Inspiring Poem - Saw this at the oncologists office, and loved it.  Wanted to share:

There once was a woman who woke up one morning, looked in the mirror,
and noticed she had only three hairs on her head.
'Well,' she said, 'I think I'll braid my hair today.'

So she did and she had a wonderful day.
The next day she woke up, looked in the mirror
and saw that she had only two hairs on her head. 
'H-M-M,' she said, 'I think I'll part my hair down the middle today.' 
So she did and she had a wonderful day.  
The next day she woke up, looked in the mirror
and noticed that she had only one hair on her head.
'Well,' she said, 'today I'm going to wear my hair in a pony tail.'
So she did and she had a wonderful day.
The next day she woke up, looked in the mirror
and noticed that there wasn't a single hair on her head. 
'YAY!' she exclaimed.

'I don't have to fix my hair today!' 
 Attitude is everything!Be kinder than necessary, for everyone you meet is fighting some kind of battle.
Live simply,  Love generously, Care deeply, Speak kindly
Life isn't about waiting for the storm to pass...    
  It's about learning to dance in the rain.
