My son told me I was pretty forgetful lately. Then he said “you just live in the moment, huh? How do you do that?”
I wasn’t sure how to answer. I just said I live in the moment by not worrying about the past or the future. Now, mind you, I’m not always able to do that. I have moments of worry and regret, just like anyone else. I just don’t let them run my life.
I recently had a biopsy on my right breast. I have to say, I was scared pretty much silly. The thought of having cancer scares me! I’m not particularly afraid of dying, but cancer… that scares me! My procedure didn’t go very well. Apparently lidocaine doesn’t process properly on my body and I ended up feeling a great deal of what they were doing. NOT something I want to go through again!! But, it was something that I needed to go through, whether it was to remember how strong I am, or a lesson for someone else. Whatever it was, it’s over now!
I’m fine. It turns out that ink from tattoos can migrate into lymph nodes and it shows up as calcifications. Who knew!! Ladies – DO NOT GET TATTOOS NEAR YOUR BREASTS!!
I told a friend who asked me this morning “what do I do” about a situation she’s experiencing. I told her “Just do what you have to do to just be!”
I’ll see if I can follow my own advice!

Goodness… If I had known, I would’ve done a little light-prayer to your boobie!
My non-neurotic (improved after many years of worry) solution to medical diagnoses:
You’re not allowed to worry until _after_ a diagnosis.
