Happy 2015 Ladies! I'm a Marchie but know so a few lovely Valentines so want to post! Can you believe it's about 2 years since we were diagnosed! Seems like yesterday. The memory of finding my lump is crystal clear but I'm pleased to say I feel positive mentally. Still scared but positive. Not positively scared - ramblng now! How was your new year? We went to Barcelona for the first time and it was fabulous! Sunshine and blue skies everyday, amazing architecture and such a beautiful city. I'm writing to update you on the amount raised for Wessex Cancer, my local charity through christmas light sales on our website. We sold a total of £140.71 and the amount to be donated is £7.05 (5%). Thank you so much for your support! (cut and paste from my Marchies post) A friend sent me this and I'd love to share it with you ... A Psychologist walked around a room while teaching Stress Management to an audience. As she raised a glass of water, everyone expected they'd be asked the "Half empty or Half full" question. Instead, with a smile on her face, she inquired: "How heavy is this glass of water?" Answers called out ranged from 8 oz. to 20 oz. She replied, "The absolute weight doesn't matter. It depends on how long I hold it. If I hold it for a minute, it's not a problem. If I hold it for an hour, I'll have an ache in my arm. If I hold it for a day, my arm will feel numb and paralysed. In each case, the weight of the glass doesn't change, But The longer I hold it, the heavier it becomes. She continued, "The Stresses and Worries in Life , are like that Glass of Water... Think about them for a while and nothing happens. Think about them a bit longer and they begin to hurt. And If you think about them all day long, you will feel paralysed – incapable of doing anything." Remember to put the Glass Down. Much love and hugs xx
