1 Year Later

Today marks 1 Year since I've been in remission!

AND, we only have 7 months to go until our 21C is ready for adventure.

I am certain that by accidentally finding this forum while licking my wounds during chemo provided us the good vibes to want to adventure North America in an Escape.

Chemo blew out my minor cataracts and I lost vision in my left eye and partially in my right. Now after some new lens I see like an Eagle but need cheaters for anything just over arms length.

The good thing now is that may sunglasses are super CHEAP! Lovin' It!

My positive attitude comes from a time when I was mad about all things and I met a stranger who looked me dead in the eyes and told me to "Smile when you're pissed off and smile when your happy".

Never been the same since.

You'll be adventuring in your Escape soon enough.

I met with one of my customers last week who I had not seen since she was diagnosed with your same stuff about a year ago. I expected her to look frail and sick. NOPE! She looked healthy as can be although she now has super curly hair.

Your new adventure is just that boring highway driving section to get to your next adventure and the next and the next.........

Great on getting past the first year in remission.

Now nearing 33 years post leukemia myself, I still count my blessings.

re: "Smile when you are pissed off and, smile when you're happy...etc." I like that.
