At the gym

Ready for my workout

I had another great workout at the gym. It is the best drug ever for stabilizing and balancing mood, and for making me feel that I am in control of my body. My weight stabilizes too when I keep up this habit.
When I arrived upstairs where the weights are, I ran into my trainer. She was working with a client. But she stopped a minute to say hi. I had put my last few training sessions on hold while I was dealing with the cancer. I told her the cancer was cured. She jumped up and gave me a big hug. Her client said, 'Congratulations! I have been cancer free for 5 years." I asked her what kind. She said, 'pancreatic'. This is one of the most dreaded forms of cancer. Yet here this young lady was with five years of survival under her belt. I said to her, 'It's up here' Tapping on my head. She agreed.
That isn't to say, that those who don't survive somehow don't have the right attitude. That would be wrong. 
But I must say, I have felt so well and so positive throughout this experience. That in itself is a gift. No matter what the outcome. 
I just feel so blessed.  And no better way to appreciate my body than to workout!
