Day Four of The Rest of My Life

Hey there!!!! hope this finds everyone doing awesome and life is going great for yall :)

Today is Day Four of The Rest of My Life :) Life is good and fabulous :) I have probably already told this story but just want to share again what the word fabulous means to me .....

This September will be 2 years ago that I went through radiation treatment for uterine cancer. And the ladies at the oncology center are awesome..... I was crying and havin a pity party for myself from day one of radiation treatment.... I did not understand that cancer happens everyday to everyone NOT just me (ok ok well I understood good enough but I could not connect with WHY ME WHY now..... why why why) the ladies that marked me and gave me radiation (3 of them plus the doctors nurse) would ALWAYS ask "How are you today" so from day one I just said FABULOUS..... fabulous when I came in and fabulous when I left..... and I was fabulous in the first two or three weeks for radiation monday through friday .... I was alive and cancer free and did not have to have chemo...so I was fabulous... By the forth week (six weeks in total) I was still fabulous but my belly was starting to be burned from the radiation..... and my skin was starting to get tender, by week five it HURT to use the bathroom.... it hurt to sit in any position...... I was taxed big time by fridays and fatigue had set in pretty hard but everyday I was FABULOUS and told them so........ by weeks five and six they would even say they were fabulous when I asked them how they were.... when I finished my treatments them ladies bought me a bottle of FAB laundry soap made a FAB-U-LOUS poster for the front of it and signed it with great inspiration. So everyday I am strugglin with this weight loss and with life in general I remember I AM FABULOUS ...... I am everything I can be I just need to dig deep and GET it ....... have you ever thought about a word that has gotten you through a hard time?? Have you ever told yourself that YOUR Fabulous?? Have you ever LET yourself JUST BE fabulous?? Go ahead give it a try ....... just for today just for now...... say I am fabulous and believe it :) I dare you :)

What an incredible post! You are fabulous. For me the word has been forgiven. Sometimes I forget that its okay for me to enjoy my life and my blessings. What helps me is remembering that through Christ I am forgiven and I need to enjoy the blessings God has given me.
