Be Happy

I’d like to borrow from Mary Blige: “All I really want is to be happy. To find a love that’s mine. It would be so sweet. How can I love somebody else? If I can’t love myself enough..” I want to be happy in all that I do. In light of the deaths that are all around us, the recent plane crash on the east coast, I am more determined to be happy. None of us know when our time will come. One of my mentors says “Live every day like its your last and one of these days you’ll be right”. Lets make up in our minds that we will be happy with the time we have. It doesn’t have to be a relationship with a significant other or spouse it can be simply with your children, friends, other family members etc. Although I am what the medical community calls a “metastatic breast cancer patient” I choose to not focus on the chemo, the sickness the countless websites that say prognosis is not good, etc., etc. I choose to focus on being happy. To start I have 3 incredible friends. I have many more but I want to talk about these in particular. I’ve known all three of them since elementary school. The relationship with each of them formed many years later. My first friend encouraged me to start this post and her and I are almost starting a new friendship and it is great. She is very analytical an it is just a treat to reason things out with her. We went shopping and had lunch and dinner together recently. I can honestly say that I’ve never spent 8 hours with someone enjoying their company and shopping. It was fabulous! Another friend has an amazing sense of humor.  She “tells it like it is” and always makes me laugh and turns whatever I may be going through into a funny situation. My third friend lives 4 hours away and although we do not talk or see each other as often, she is always able to give me wisdom and advice with no sugar coating. Do you know what I’m talking about? In spite of my current situations and circumstances I can still be happy by surrounding myself with others and being open to receive from them when I am in need and being able to give to them in return.

  You are a real gem! I always enjoy being with you! Sometimes I marvel at the way we turned out as adults. You truly have the best attitude of anyone I know. You really should start that support group as I could see so many people receiving a blessing from it!
