Reality “Check!”

I’ve come to an epiphany this week. Turning back the hands of time is not as easy as I thought! My mindset is that of how I USED to be, 42! My body vehemently tells me ” oh…you gonna ride WHERE?…Naa…we don’t think so!” (“we” being every joint in my body!) Anyhow, I ride. 62 is the new 42! It’s exhilarating for me. I won’t stop either. Come to think about it, if not for being diagnosed with cancer, I probably would not be back on my fix! As the saying goes, God works in mysterious ways! Okay now, while listening to the news the other day I happened to pay attention to a commercial about St Jude’s Hospital.  I looked at those children with amazement and awe! Dealing with cancer is already pretty mind boggling for adults, but just imagine being a kid diagnosed with cancer. Wow! I feel a kinship with those children because I know from experience what some of them are going through. But the strength of their struggle comes from what they are… children. Children are resilient, strong and powerful beings. Do not underestimate them. They are stronger and smarter than we give them credit for. I know that if I ever won the lottery most of that money would go to St. Jude’s Hospital because those kids should have a chance to live! They should be worrying about homework and what to do this weekend instead of worrying about chemo, radiation and or surgery. I do not pity them, our affinity comes from common ground. Cancer is not supposed to be for children. I admire their strength and their attitude towards it though. Hopefully one day a cure will come. At least for those children. It will probably be a long time before a real cure just because of the amount of money that cancer treatment entails. There is more money in treatment of cancer than in curing cancer. Facts! I have something to say about money anyway. I feel that anyone diagnosed with any type of cancer should not have any debt. AT ALL! Everything should be forgiven. The money generated by the cancer machine is ENORMOUS! Trust me, I know from experience. Why should anyone diagnosed with cancer have to worry about being hounded by bill collectors, foreclosures or bankruptcy? It really is a shame. Hey, it is what it is. My son posted a screenshot of a part of my bill. Here it is. God gets me through! Peace and blessings!
