social-butterfly 0 Report post Posted January 29, 2010 Doing something happy in Life ,to me is most rewarding Life's experience anyone could possible have in their life .I have been diagnosed with Cancer and having been struggling with this for Longest Time in Treatments and Surgery .one the areas I've found out that has become big issue in anyone that struggles with cancer as big area in their own life is becoming selfish in how one can share or see their life and not wanting to be treated different than when you didn't have cancer .you just hold a strong need just to be your self and not dwell on living and coping with day to day cancer .as someone like me ,I always thought I knew many things ,in life and hard teach old dogs new tricks although how wrong I mislead my own self at times in how I choose not to listen to those that love me and shared my life with ,during times like this .although in my coping skills i searched for all these months .i placed myself in group therapy .then met many families during this time .my heart went out to each family .maybe it was a chance ,to stop thinking of my own problems ,maybe it was goodness of my own soul ,most of all I believe it was something magical that became very spiritual to me ,that these families ,taught me something about Life ,that even I failed to allow and share in my own self and Life .I was invited ,to some the families I held wonderful chance in meeting them during time they to struggled in coping with a loved one with cancer .even though being a part of their lives .I thought it was me bringing many magical moments to their lives at the time .as thinking back at wonderful moments shared ,so precious ,makes me smile and my eyes light up ,with just the thought of it all .to explain these precious moments may seem kind of silly although at the time ,I believe it was most inspirational coping for not just the families ,but me too.I was invited in these families homes ,we shared some funny moments ,I learned how to play barbies with a little Girl ,that has struggled with cancer and out look ,holds a dark adventure ,although during this Time ,it was precious to me ,as i was drawn to this little girl and her complete family ,how we shared ,our laughs and giggles and those precious moments of ,entertainment ,we could create .although families in there busy lifestyles some how struggling to keep ,everything within budget and keep everything going in right direction ,some how they forgotten how to cherish and create those special precious moments with a love one .in all in all ,knowing those precious moments ,to watch a mother ,toss her worries out the window for that day and crawl in floor with her daughter and play barbies ,and have imagination that only a mother and daughter could share during those times ,and allowing the daddy into a special creation of a tea party .as we each sat in this little girls small tiny chairs and drank our tea with ,greatest imagination anyone could ever hold and hear the laughter filter through out the entire room will always be a precious moment in our busy lives that was created just for the moment .after leaving that day and the most enjoyed times I shared being a part of this special family .I had precious time in my life that allowed me to see ,a bigger picture in my own self in how I limited ,those that love me ,from sharing ,my own struggles with cancer with them .to protect them from experiencing the pain and discomfort was actually wrong in me and same time ,I felt was protecting all I love from ,feeling what I was going through too .Over months of Winter here ,I spent my Time going to Hospitals of cancer ,floor and placing my matalic shiny red wig on and face of a clown and bringing as much happiness I could with each magical visit to those at Hospital and there families .as so many joined in this magical moments .it brought out something in all of us that will be inspirational to our lives forever .one day this person ,told me how much fun I was although,that I have brought mommies and daddies and families back together ,during a time like this with my magical wings and smiles ,filling the rooms and lives with peace and happiness. she wanted tell me ,I reminded her as a butterfly that with wings that flutter in and out a room ,leaving a smile on everyone's face and never allowing anyone to feel the sadness that is inside my own heart ,that has touched my soul from actually ,blooming to full potential .Letting my Breath out. as this person seemed ,flow inside my complete body and could see ,something I felt I buried deeply within my own self ,not to share that part of me .This special strong adorable Girl ,placed her hands on top of my hands and spoken words that ,everyone wanted to offer something back to me ,for me to allow ,others to love me back in return .all suddenly in hallways was filled with balloons and so many people ,it took my breath away ,just seeing all those I spent most my time in bringing so much happiness and closeness to bringing love ones together ,as I believed ,we need each other during times like this .Here everyone was ,telling me the same thing for my own self ,that even I so proud ,need my loved ones at time like this too.In life ,when you think you set out in helping and guiding others towards those Precious moments that last a life time ,some how ,you are never to old to Learn new things ,that Life has to offer .that day will touch my soul for rest of my life .Taught me many things ,that I cherish .Sharing this experience with everyone ,Hoping that no matter What life hands out for you ,to cope with and when times get so rough ,you want to give up or walk away ,as the weight feels as it's to heavy .You are never alone .When you always Believe and have Faith ,The weight seems to Lift and something very Alive and spiritual touches your complete being ,lifting all ,till it seems ,not so hard to cope with ,leaving you a peace within own self .never give up Believing .Life is filled with many Life's experiences .It is all worth the Fight . Never to young or old to Learn something New in Life's Experiences . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
