CIMPLE – A Curious Introvert's Musings & Photos about Life and Enjoyment

Nothing about last week went as planned, but some great news out of the week is that my oncologist said my tests show no lymphoma and I’ve had a tremendous response against my aggressive lymphoma and beat the odds so far. Also, I have a new camera and iPhone. Nothing about my following musings is meant to be depressing, just some thoughts my inner voice wanted to express. I try not think about how much time I have left in this life since every day is a gift and we never know what will happen today or tomorrow, but my inner voice debates with me when we’re making purchases questioning if we are sure we need something new when things could change quickly and my loud response to any inner voice doubts is that I WANT TO LIVE. My inner voice is finally getting the message and we yell I WANT TO LIVE to ourselves daily and have actually created a song based on the music of the Queen song I Want To Break Free. Now, the universe wasn’t cooperating with my good vibes mentality last week when my oncologist then discussed my broken bone marrow, mentioned the word leukemia and keeping a stem cell transplant as a future option, but we’re saving those thoughts for another day while waiting on another blood test and hoping my bone marrow starts working right. Then I believe the universe was listening to my inner voice on purchases because it took me over seven hours to change my cell phone service and cable plan/equipment. Also, my first camera did not work and I had to exchange it for another. While I wanted to attend a No-Kings Protest over the weekend, but was told by my mother I could not be around crowds or be hit by a rubber bullet, I was very happy by the end of the weekend to be out in the yard with a wonderful new camera and iPhone capturing one of my favorite visitors and telling my inner voice, see life is good.
