Count Your Blessings Every Day!


I can't describe how nice it is not to have the chemo pump attached to me. I just have a short break but I'm trying to savor every moment. Just being able to walk around, sleep without it, shower without worrying about it, and of course, swimming at the pool! This morning we all went for a dip at Barton Springs, and then Cathy and I went to the farmer's market. The freedom of being able to move around without the constant worry of the chemo pump is great.

It should go without saying, but it is the simple pleasures in life that really are special. So remember every day how fortunate we are to be able to do the simple things in life!

  1. Great advice! We often forget to enjoy the "simple" pleasures in life. My favorite saturday treats (after a run and the pool, of course) are the NY Times crossword puzzle and Wait, Wait, Dont Tell Me.

  2. You are right, James - It's the little things!
    Glad to see you enjoying Barton's - it makes the little things even littler.

  3. I agree. Swimming in Barton Springs in one of the best things about Austin. I'm glad you had a chance to enjoy it again.
