Yesterday was a rough day. I seem to have a lot of those around check up time. But part of what made yesterday good was going to the Low Vision Clinic (my happy place) and being around people who know me, believe in me and are doing everything they can to help me become the best low vision therapist I can be. And they make me laugh!!
I know that every time I go there I am going to learn something new, help someone use their remaining vision better and I am going to laugh! And not just laugh...but that snort like a crazy person through your noise, turn beat red laugh! The kind that makes your sides hurt and the tears role down your face! Because I know I am going to be around people who are kind, good at their jobs, committed to education to those of us coming up in the field and just plain hilarious!! And it feels GOOD! Having that place that no matter how difficult things are, I can go there and do good things, make a difference and laugh. I want to laugh so much more! I want to be happy all the time! And until I get there, I know at least once to twice a week I am going to be able to go to a place that makes me happy and makes me laugh!!
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.
