My husband and I rushed to do all the things we thought there may not be time to do... took a trip, I planned my funeral and made arrangements for the living will and all. Now with the discovery of all the incredible drugs, we now have great hopes of living long lives, whether in complete remission or not. We have hope. But the change for me has remained, in the way I intentionally live my life. I get up thinking differently, I take the anniversary of remission days off of work and celebrate, I realigned my priorities and play more and work less, I apologize more easily, and serve with contentment. And since seeing the movie " The Bucket List " with Freeman and Jack Nicholson my husband and I made our own, one we add to on occasion. Yesterday, I crossed off item #1 of my list: To ride in a NASCAR at 180 MPH at Phoenix International Raceway. My daughter and I did this together. I have posted some photos in the album if you want to take a peek. I would encourage you all to make your own list... there was a great deal of fun in the adventure but also a great deal of satisfaction in accomplishment of the task. Call me a crazy old fat lady if you want but I am a happy one!! Barb in AZ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
