In which I take a journey, searching for the me I want to be. My previous Blog, Michael My Son http://danielmyson.blogspot.com/ chronicles the death of my beloved son Michael in June 2011. What followed was grief that found no peace. In October of 2011 I diagnosed with Lymphoma. I believe that it was the result of my grief over Michael.This blog is about my journey through cancer and beyond. / Older posts on right.

The joy of morning
As my mind merged into consciousness this morning, the sky out my window was a delicate pink. The sound of peace filled the air. I am gifted another day on this beautiful earth. And I am grateful.
I am grateful that I have the capacity to appreciate all that is in my world. Im grateful that this adventure with cancer has not deprived me of my ability to appreciate the simple things in my life. My fellow travelers on this road are not as fortunate as I. Some suffer side effects from the chemo, or simply symptoms of the cancer that make it difficult to enjoy their lives.
Every moment of every day is a gift. Remember that. Watch for the things that can give you joy. Stop and think about them when they come your way. Keep a list so that you can go back and remember when things aren't going the way you expected. There are moments in each day, that can remind you of all that is beautiful. No matter how difficult your life is. This is what I have learned.
