GIfts! Cardio Crying!

by Sally

I was at Zumba class this morning at the gym — zumba being this crazy latin-dance-style “jazzercize” class I’m addicted to now — and in the middle of jumping up and down like a maniac to a Shakira song, I realized that it was March 5.

Exactly one year ago, at that precise moment, I was just coming out of surgery, with no knowledge about whether my cancer had spread, or what post-surgical life would be like.

So I suddenly found myself sobbing while I was dancing and jumping up and down to Shakira. Joy. Relief. Sorrow. Cardio crying.

I am healthier now, one year post, than I was before March, 2012. I eat healthier, live healthier. I exercise. These have been my some of my GIfts from Cancer.

Because there have been gifts, you see. Oh yes, there have been gifts.

Onward we go, to Year Two . . .
