Reflections

I would of course skip cancer if I could but you don’t really get an option at this. Afterwards I had a choice. Either wonder how my life would be if cancer never had appeared, get stuck or find out how to make the most out of it and move forward. I keep choosing the latter.

I had a ‘mindful walk’ the other day. I just asked myself what I love about my life at the moment. The answers came up very easy and quickly; the fact that I’m alive and well, my family, my friends, my job. A few years ago I would consider those things as banal and granted. Back then I kept asking for more. I had to lose my safety, get thrown out of my comfort zone and be shaken off to realise how much all that is worth.

Don’t think I walk around like a guru all day…I still get annoyed by small or stupid things. Some things affect me more than others. It can last hours or days. But then I slap myself and start over.

A while ago a friend rounded off a chat saying ‘follow the light’. At that point it sounded very spiritual and strange to me. Now I get it (I think…)! Find your own light, let it shine on you and keep following it! ❤️
