I've given some more thought to my last post. I hadn't realized it but my cancer was a catalyst for me to let go of a lot of stuff. I just don't have the wherewithal to put up with certain things anymore. I am happier and less stressed now that I don't volunteer for stuff I'm not good at. Likewise, I've dropped some activities that I didn't really enjoy, and am pursuing some others with greater vigor.
These are small changes that are adding up to a much more authentic life for me.
I've been looking for some earth-shattering breakthrough that came from having cancer. The blogs and articles I've read detail changes that others have felt. I thought these changes were kind of a big bang thing, but now I realize that perhaps they aren't. Maybe, like me, others have just done one thing a little differently, and then one other thing a little differently, and then a third thing a little differently, and so on. Until they all of a sudden wake up one morning and feel the total of all of the cumulative changes making their life and feelings different.
That's how it's working for me.
