Today was a pretty strait forward, normal day. I worked with my students all day, had lunch with colleges and then went home. So as I sat here wondering what to write, I realized that while nothing big stood out today, there were the things that just brought a smile to my face in the moment. Like eating lunch and teasing with colleges. Walking into my "office" after my third lesson and almost jumping out of my skin when I saw my supervisor sitting there waiting for me. Students calling hello to me in the hallways.
These are the days that I realize I am smiling because it is so ordinary. And my ordinary days now consist of jokes in the hall way, a guide dog out of his harness and happily going from person to person for love and pets and play, grabbing a green been grown by a co-worker out of a bag and chatting about my disbelief that people can actually eat tomatoes like apples! Lol! My ordinary days are just that...ordinary. Nothing in particular stood out above the rest. But I did find myself with a little smile on my face throughout the day and enjoying how my life has changed yet again. :)
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.
