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

I haven’t written much lately and since I don’t take as many photos as when I did “The Week In Seven Photos” posts, I thought I would try this new category. The month of September was a very stressful month in my cancer journey. Started the month clinging on to hope, quickly lost all hope after the first week and fought back to ending the month with some hope again. My body is still reacting negatively to all treatments, but we’re trying something new to try to keep me on the current medication. In between all the stress, anxiety and sadness there were moments of laughter, like when my niece purchased this ghost and bought me a great coffee mug and spoon, There were also moments when I was able to not think about my cancer while watching our family of deer stopping by for dinner every day, an interesting argument between our backyard crows and turkeys and listening to the owls hoot in the woods behind our house. A few surprising things is that I now listen to podcasts instead of music in the car (which also leads to more stress, but keeps my mind busy) and I tend to watch more reruns of old shows compared to new shows or movies. As we begin a new month, I’m excited about October baseball, football, hockey, Halloween movies/shows and trying to hang on to hope.
