Letting Go

The “C” word is etched in your brain when you hear the word cancer. After diagnosis, and multiple surgeries the reality set in of letting go of a word. This “C” word had negative associations which I needed to eradicate from my vocabulary in order to begin healing.

Initially, I thought healing would be complete when the surgeries ended. I learned I was wrong.

I learned my real healing started when I let go of the fear associated with cancer. I realized I had to make a decision to live in the moment and living meant letting go of the “C” word for good. Now, I realize the importance of taking no moment or day for granted.

It is a great day to alive. I know every day is not packaged with a bow and who would want that? My bad days made me appreciate the great ones all the more. Letting go feels good. Let your light shine.
