Home Again...

This would be my Sunday, September 25th post.  As the alarm went off at 4am so started my day.  How easy it would have been to pull the covers back up over my head and continue to be comfortable & sleep.  Instead I was up & moving.  I cleaned up, ate a touch, then had to pack the vehicle and it was off to Dullas Airport for an 8:25 flight to Cleveland.  Once I got to Cleveland, it was time to change and head to work.  The Brown's played the Dolphin's, and we won the game today.  A whirl wind, in a blink of an eye everything was changing.  Coming off of a huge high from the weekend.  Spending time in Washington DC with my Pink Family.  We lived for today, not worrying about tomorrow because we don't know what tomorrow will bring.  No rest for the weary... It was an exhausting weekend, but I LIVED!  I took every opportunity to Live, Love and Share.  There are tons of pictures of me in a Tu-Tu, with a feather boa wearing my LifeLine's shirt,  in SparkleSkirts with boppers on my head, in a Box with a Bow on my head and even some of me wearing a Pink "S" cape, but you know what?  I gave a little of myself to every person that I met.  I gave them my Energy, Smile and most of all, my Love.  My voice gone, my body exhausted, but I would not change one minute.  I can't even imagine what it would be like to find something, or to just go into the Doctors office only to receive the news that I have breast cancer, to become the one in eight women that will be diagnosed in their lifetime.  How all of a sudden everything would change in a moment.  Being put on the fast track.  Maybe surgery, chemo, radiation, the once "normal" life being left behind for the unknown.  This weekend, things I have been learning through my journey with my Pink family came to light this past weekend.  Usually I would be stressing about how I looked in the pictures that were taken of me.  Not this weekend.  Every-time someone asked to take my picture, no matter how CRAZY I must have looked, I felt pride.  Knowing that I touched someone enough that they wanted to remember me, what I did, or how I made them feel in that moment. I may not see tomorrow, but I lived today!  As my Pink Family grows and changes, I learn new lessons, I smile more and worry less.  I try to find the positive in every situation.  To learn lessons everyday, and to never take moments for granted.  Today I Lived...
