Sunshine

It's not been quite a week since I've arrived to Mexico, but I feel like a different person.  The constant nose bleeds have stopped as well as the constant nausea.  I've been sleeping 8 hours most nights and waking up feeling well rested.  I've read 2 books so far, and have been able to concentrate and focus on what I'm reading, something I couldn't do at home.  I'm sure the warm weather and sunshine has alot to do with it  We have been busy with our friends, going out to some secluded beaches and having bbq's...they are working on keeping my red blood count up..lots of iron in steak and spinach salad.  Bob and I are going to go south to the border of Belize tomorrow, stopping off at some funky beach towns and just hanging out for 4 days.  The thought of having to fly home for chemo keeps popping in my head every now and then, but I keep pushing it further away, I don't want to think of the cancer, treatments, Dr.s etc.  As my friend Hakima told me, " Everyday is a celebration" and that's how I'm going to try and live my life.  There's no sense wasting precious time worrying about something that I can't fix.  Looking forward a fun adventure this week and after I return from home our friends Tracey and Craig will be down and after them Beth will be here.  Lots of good times ahead!!!!!!
