Today I went shopping for my groceries for the week and was waiting at the deli counter for my order and texting a friend when a cart rammed into mine and I hear a guy say "Hey Lady! Watch out!" I looked up in shock and caught myself from saying "Excuse me!" when I saw my White Cane instructor standing there laughing at me! LOL!!! I hadn't seen him since this summer and it was so nice to catch up!
Incase anyone is wondering, I am learning to teach Orientation and Mobility to blind and visually impaired adults. Part of what that means is I will be teaching white cane techniques. So to be able to teach them I had to learn them. Last fall I spent about 6 hours a week walking around inside and outside under a blindfold with my instructor. We got along great and usually ended up laughing at the hilarious things that always happen when you are learning a new skill! So it was really nice "running" into him at the store:). I like it when you randomly meet a friend when you are out and about doing things! It just puts a smile on your face as you continue on with your day:).
After 15 years of trying to finish my undergrad, I spent the week before finals in and out of the ER. During finals I was diagnosed with Endometrial Cancer. I graduated Magna Cum Laude the next weekend from Western Michigan University. I am now blogging about my experiences of fighting cancer & living life after in hopes of being able to help others.

Feeling Good!
