Wowsa....
I know that I talk about it a lot, but the incredible beauty and practically perfect weather here never get old....!
Feeling great and mighty grateful!
I watched a wonderful video on YouTube last evening:
Why actor Sam Neill is 'not particularly interested' in his cancer | Australian Story
Anyone who knows me well knows that I am completely unimpressed with celebrity....with entertainers...with people who have an uncanny knack for pretending to be someone else and get paid an outrageous amount of money to do so and then act mostly either like idiots or like they know everything and are the centers of their own imaginary universes....
I absolutely could not care any less about them or what they have to say, their opinions....
However, I came across this video and I found it quite resonating....
The title piqued my interest, because I, also, am not particularly interested in my cancer. I give it so little thought! I am alive and kicking (literally) and, for the most part, unaffected by cancer!
I arrived at the pool early than usual this morning, before it opened at 9 am, because I have to take care of my Grand-dude earlier than I usually do today. I walked around admiring the stunning scenery for a while...just taking it all in and thanking God, as I do every single day, for allowing me to live on this lovely, lovely island. When I got back to the gate, a few minutes before the pool would open, I saw some regular swimmers also lining up, a few people that I have not seen in a while, since I don't swim so early anymore. We engaged in a little chit-chat, and one lady make a remark about my skin (I have developed vitiligo as a side effect of my immunotherapy treatment). I'm honestly not quite sure why people make such remarks, but..... I told her, matter-of-factly, that it is vitiligo, as a result of my cancer treatment. She looked shocked (guessing she might think a bit before making such comments in the future), and then, you know, the typical, "I'm so sorry" with a very said face.
I shut that down; do not feel said or sorry for me.....am I not here? Swimming? I'm fine.
I'm not in denial; I've simply adapted to what is and I am living (key word "living") with it. Yes, I'm alive. Kicking. Swimming. Grateful.
It's annoying at times, but that is truly it. Like Sam Neill, I am not at all afraid to die. One day, I will be happy to leave this human realm and meet my Creator...Jesus...I honestly do not have a problem with that; it is inevitable anyways. What is annoying is that there are still things that I want to do, as Sam Neill says, and, personally, I just do not want to leave my family...my children and my Grand-dude, my siblings, people I deeply love...quite so soon. I suppose I'll never be ready for that, to "a hui hou"...till we meet again...but I'd rather have it happen later rather than sooner....if I have anything to say about it.
Anyways, I enjoyed this video:
