I know, I know! It seems crazy to be grateful for something as scary as having cancer. But the fact is, cancer comes with a few perks. And since this is the time of year to give thanks for all blessings, cancer should get it’s just due.
Thank you, cancer, for the hours saved washing, conditioning, blow drying, and straightening my hair.
Thank you, cancer, for the months of smooth, sleek, stubble-free legs and pits.
Thank you, cancer, for letting me keep my skimpy eyelashes and eyebrows.
Thank you, cancer, for the 20 lb. weight loss, allowing me to FINALLY reach my goal weight!
Thank you, cancer, for the ability to eat whatever I want, as much as I want, whenever I want, without gaining an ounce.
Thank you, cancer, for the perfect excuse to lie around on the couch all day reading magazines and watching Food Network television.
Thank you, cancer, for all the nights off kitchen duty and for being able to get out of heavy-duty household chores.
But mostly, cancer, I would like to Thank You for the outpouring of LOVE that comes my way in the form of cards in the mail, text messages, emails, phone calls, and visits from people who care.
My life has been enriched by this experience.
