A New Day

I am happy to report that Paisley's Sweat test came back negative! This means that she DOES NOT have cystic fibrosis!!!! To me, that is the best news imaginable!!!!!

I haven't mentioned this to anyone, but I have been thinking alot about my breast cancer scare. I've been thinking about my thoughts I had when I first heard the word cancer and realized they were talking about me. I remember that my first thought was about my hair. I didn't want to lose my hair. I felt in a panic. I kept thinking to myself that my hair is my best feature. I didn't want to lose the thing I liked the most about myself. I felt really vain thinking that, but it's how I felt. I was so very relieved when I got the news that I don't have cancer. I am still over-the-moon excited about my non-cancer diagnosis. So, today, I decided to do something to treat myself. It makes me feel good that it will help make someone else's day a little brighter too. Curious about what I did today? Well, I'll tell you. And I have a picture to prove it!


Today I donated 12 inches of my hair to someone who doesn't have any hair. Today, I got a hair cut (and my very first highlights!!) and I feel fantastic. Today is the start of a new day for me. A new kind of life for me. I will embrace it and appreciate it. It may not sound like a big deal to anyone else, but I am cancer free, enjoying my life like never before, 45 pounds lighter, and sporting a new 'do! I feel like I've won the lottery! Now, if I can just get that pedicure I've never had, but always wanted! HA!
