Fighting My Way Through: Less (is more?)

Less (is more?)

Less is more. We have all heard this saying, right? I have been thinking this week about

Me with Less.

Me with Less:

Hair

This is the style I am thinking of.

Ok, getting on with it....I get sidetracked easily.

Me with LESS:

weight(Susan K. I can hear you now...)

stress

dogs

house

dog poop

chemo

stress

CANCER

fatigue

flab

winter

snow

darkness

chaos

chest

bills

debt

unexpected expenses

vet bills

stress

dirty dishes

laundry

LESS of all this would possibly mean More to me!

Peace

free time

spending money

stamina

health

sun

savings

green grass to play on

time to read

time to play

dreams coming true

energy

time to spend with Damon

relaxation

calm

So, Less is More!

Love to you all!

Thanks for being my readers.

Me then, Me now!

I never thought of myself as a fighter. Someone who needed to fight for what she really wanted or needed. Things in my life were never that difficult. No, I haven't led a charmed life. haha, no way, but things just never seemed too hard to obtain or get through.
Until April 22, 2010! That day, I became a fighter. I fight now for my life. I fight for day to day normalcy. I fight to feel "normal".
April 22 I was diagnosed with Colon Cancer. After weeks of waiting, and testing, we found out I am in stage IV. Statistically speaking the prognosis for this isn't good.
So here I am, writing this new blog as a way to journal, vent, remember, heal, and share. Whether you just want to stay with me on this journey, or are looking for healing yourself please feel free to read my posts and make comments.
May God's blessings be with you always!

The House That Built Me, song by Miranda Lamburt.

I love it.

And the picture above is one of the house that built ME. The back is an addition done by current owners, and there used to be a closed in porch where deck is now, but the basic body of the house is the same.

If I could come in ,

I'll leave,

Won't take nothin but a memory.

From the house that built me.

My mom raised us in this house,

My Dad picked us up and brought us home to this house,

My grandparents visited every Christmas Eve at this house,

My Granny came in spring to help plant flowers at this house,

We mowed the lawn,

played in the lawn,

Kept a horse in backyard,

Tried growing a garden,

Hung a hammock between some trees,

Slept on hot summer nights in the hallway upstairs to get the

best the whirring fan had to offer.

Until my Dad sent me this picture I really hadn't

given much thought to all the memories I have from this

house that built me. Now I think about them everytime I

hear the Miranda Lamburt song.

What house built you?

Or what memories built you?
