Back to the Basics...

Right from the start I mentioned the power of positive thinking, which has helped me a great deal throughout the past 5 months. Whenever I start to get down, I just think of somebody who has it worse than I do, and it humbles me into believing that it's not so bad after all. Sure I have those moments where I just can't get off the pity pot, but they honestly don't come as often as you'd think. If I let it get me down, then how would I continue to strive? I wouldn't. I have to be strong for my family, for my friends, for all those survivors out there, and especially for those who have just been diagnosed. I need to show them all that even when you're hit with a terminal illness like breast cancer, you need to NEVER GIVE UP!! Giving up the fight just means that you're a quitter, that you have thrown in the towel. "I choose to fight like a girl" (dedicated to Marcy, TT & Sonia). I choose to give it my all and come out swinging.

So just for today, let's put away that "can't do" attitude and join me in saying we "CAN DO" it!! If it's as simple as doing the dishes or walking the dog, let's pull together and do it today. Together we can move mountains, so why don't we?

Peace to you all ♥ Love, Genie

  1. Good Morning, Genie:
    Thank you so much for your CAN-DO attitude. Being so upbeat as you are is a very helpful way to beat this cancer.
    Psycologists tell us that a positive attitude such as YOU are showing CAN and WILL help us to conquer a disease.
    Keep up the good work.
    Love ya

  2. I'll move mountains with you any day! I hope you know I'm always here to talk. Do you know why you are a success story? Because you're very upfront and real about the ups and down's of treatment. Pity parties are human! You're allowed to have them. Your Faith gives you strength -- always lean on that. Sending you hugs...cause I get it!

    Love,
    Sonia
