"I do have a lot of bad days, but you know, I
don't talk about them or focus on them. Instead I think about all the
good things. I have a lot of nice times when I'm with my grandchildren,
when I go to church, and when I'm with my friends."
Some
people see their cancer as a "wake-up call." They may realize the
importance of enjoying the little things in life. They go places they've
never been. They finish projects they had started but put aside. They
spend more time with friends and family. They mend broken relationships.
It
may be hard at first, but you can find joy in your life. Take note of
what makes you smile. Pay attention to the things you do each day that
you enjoy. They can be as simple as drinking your morning coffee,
sitting with a pet, or talking to a friend. These small, day-to-day
activities can give you comfort and pleasure.
You can also do
things that are more meaningful to you. Everyone has special things,
both large and small, that bring meaning to their life. For you, it may
be visiting a garden in your city or town. It may be praying in a
certain chapel. Or it could be playing golf or some other sport that you
love. Whatever you choose, embrace the things that bring you joy when
you can.
