Today I got a lot done! I got up, went to church, went grocery shopping, had a healthy lunch, cleaned my apartment and worked on my study guide, getting it printed in manageable bites. It felt good! Especially because the past couple months I have been struggling with motivation and so many other things. I know why I was struggling but it still took me a while to act on it. So now I am acting.
I feel lighter, happier and able to just get out there and do not just what I have to do but what I want to do. Also I have had to not just recognize but also accept lately that doing what I WANT to do isn't a bad thing.
I also learn something else today, and maybe it is obvious to everyone else but it was yet another thing I had to learn on my own. I learned I can only focus on one day at a time right now. I have been so busy since treatment trying to plan the rest of my life and get to the rest of my life as soon as possible that I didn't see how I was causing myself more struggles than I needed! So today I only really focused on today. Just what I wanted to do today. And I got a lot done! If I found myself thinking beyond today I noticed I started to loose momentum and had to just push all those anxious thoughts out of my mind. It felt good:). So while I know this isn't the most hilarious and obvious thing to smile about...I am rather happy with myself and can't help but smile over a simple, good day:)
Feeling Good!

Funny, but I have the opposite reaction to my cancer diagnosis. I have made every effort to scale down my life and focus just one day at a time. My chemo is supposed to be done the first week of April. My life starts anew after that.
I am so happy for you. That you are focusing on yourself and what you want. Good luck with the study guide. By the way, I grew up in the Traverse City area and spent some time on the Western Michigan campus as a high school student. I still know many of the music faculty there.
Best wishes!
