thanks for the laugh.

Christmas eve 2011 was worst ever

Same for me, Dec 16th 2011, was diagnosed with cancer, had right eye removed on Dec 22 in Philly. I kicked cancers arse.

As it turned out, I faced my fears, and came out much stronger, it taught me to appreciate life, and look at the good in every situation.

One thing that helped me more than anything was when I told a friend, " all I can think about is dying of cancer, and leaving my family behind" He said, " I'll share a secret with you, you are not your mind, just the poor SOB that listens to it, now cheer up"

Nothing get's me down for very long anymore, thoughts can screw you up if you entertain the negative 1s. We do have a choice in what we think about, and can change it anytime.
