This post is for those of you fighting a battle in your life (doesn’t have to be just cancer).  I am in a great place now, NED for almost two years.  But we all need each other in this world at certain times, and now I feel a little more capable of being a cheerleader to anyone who is in the same place I used to be!

So, . . . my thought today is this:  Whatever your day looks like today, whether you are lying in bed, hospitalized with chemo sores in your mouth and a feeding tube (been there!), dragging slightly from chemo, or feeling well, but a bit scared, let’s make this the BEST day we can today.  If you have friends and family all around you, GREAT!!  If you are having relationship problems, or are feeling depressed, YOU can do it too!!  You may not know me, but I really do care about how you are doing today, and I do know how you feel (in general, of course).

What can we do to make it the BEST day today?  Start on your knees in prayer and talk to your Heavenly Father about how you are feeling and how you would like to make the best of this day.  (Even if you are not a believer in God, what does it hurt to try?)  Then, get up off your knees and do it!!  Look for ways to make those around you happy.  Thinking of others is really hard when you have a lot to focus on just to make it through the day, but it is amazing how we can still do little things that can make the better day for someone else in our path if we are determined to do it.  And that can’t help but rub off on us.  Okay, here’s the cheer:  Rah, rah rah!!!  You can do it!!!   

Please feel free to share some great ideas on how to make the best of your day today, and let’s all be thinking of each other and praying for each other to succeed in this too.  (And hey!  You could be the lucky first person to post a comment on my new site!)  Tomorrow I want reports on how it went!!
