not-quite Journaling, 75
the ways that made me
makes me more
10/20/2024: My Piano Man and I are back at New York Comic Con after five long years. The first two years of absence happened because of surgeries, chemotherapy, radiation… The next three years, I missed it because I got ill (eye infection, Crohn’s and neuropathy flare-ups) the day before the convention. This year, I nearly missed it again because of a new breast cancer scare. At the moment, we’re mostly sure that there is no cancer--more testing needed… In the meantime, I will enjoy loving and living; I will reclaim what I can; I will delight in all the moments the universe gives me. Tomorrow will bring what it will, but today is mine.
10/24/2024: Every once in a while, we learn we’ve trusted someone who didn’t deserve it. Some might think of such discovery as a loss, but I see it as the best of wins. Getting rid of something rotten opens space for better things. Definitely a win.

What an adorably cute couple you and your Piano Man are! Have lots of fun at Comic Con!
ReplyDeleteI love the matching masks and specs, your positive attitude, and those verses which make me want to yell, 'YES!!!'.
ReplyDeletel like "defleshing the guise" and your winning attitude.
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely photo of you and Piano Man. Have fun. Hope you don't mind me saying this but that guy is a bit dishy isn't he! :) In Oz dishy means gorgeous:)
ReplyDeleteWishing you continued happiness on your recovery journey - Jae
ReplyDeleteYour verse is poignantly stated and viscerally understood. Wishing you constant improved health on your journey. Disappointments can transform into gifts reminding me of next week's prompt.
ReplyDeleteWonderful to come across you again... thank you for the update, and so nice you could get out and have fun.
ReplyDeleteSo glad to see you out and about enjoying your life.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful post from the first image we see ~ You and Piano Man, to the wisdom you share ~ "Every once in a while, we learn we’ve trusted someone who didn’t deserve it. Some might think of such discovery as a loss, but I see it as the best of wins. Getting rid of something rotten opens space for better things." I have just recently had to move my mindset to just THIS. Please take good care.
ReplyDeleteWhat charming monsters! (and yes, it's good to clean something rotten out of our lives)
ReplyDeletePK
Ohhh I love these photos. I agree getting rid of the rot does open the door for something great.
ReplyDeleteWonderful photo of you two and I'm so glad you got to attend! Wisdom of purging those who don't lighten our days - perfectly expressed.
