Embracing Peace

October... This month marks being one full year out from diagnosis, and after two really difficult years, it feels like my life is finally coming into balance. It feels good. Life feels good.

I sit here searching for words that don't sound cliche. Cancer has asked me to prioritize my health and my happiness. It has added depth to my life, has asked me to drop in deeper. I feel like I know myself better; I am able to tune in with more clarity to what is true for me. I am braver in a subtle sort of way.

The quote that keeps coming up is the one about peace not being in a place where there is no strife, but to be in that place and still feel calm in your heart. I feel calm in my heart.
