I’ve been doing a lot of deep thinking, lately…
pondering,
cogitating,
ruminating,
evaluating,
perhaps even brooding. Definitely brooding.
I’m just not at a point where I can talk about it all. It’s just so much…
So much what does this cancer diagnosis mean to the rest of my life? to what extent will I let it define me? what do I want to do when I grow up? will it have something to do with cancer? should I change my major? what is the meaning of life, the universe, and everything? does it even matter? where are my shoes? how will we pay rent? did I take my pills this morning, or was that yesterday? who am I? who are you? will Lizzie and Mr. Darcy ever work things out?
In spite of all of that, I still have this…
the meaning of life, the universe, and everything is such a small thing compared to the beauty of my little girl in a swing. Pondering can wait; it’s time to play.
WW Linkup
Every week I host a photo linkup where we share posts featuring a photo. It started out being called Wordless Wednesday, but… Bloggers? Wordless? Then we started calling it Wordy Wednesday. Now we just abreviate to WW, and you pick for yourself whether or not to get wordy.
Link up your photo post below to share, and we’ll be by to visit.
It sounds like you have so much to process, which may be tiring for you. I love the photo of your beautiful girl – so carefree. I hope you make some headway with your thoughts. For me, writing helps me process most things. Have you bought a pretty new journal lately? And sometimes my best eureka moments happen when I’m not brooding over something. Wishing you well,
Claire.

Love this photo of your sweet daughter. Questions, questions there are always so many crowding the brain. I echo Claire. Keep writing them down and the answers will come!

I love this perspective! Play makes a lot of our anxieties go away. I know some of your thoughts are pretty big ones. Keeping your eye on your little girl surely will help. Big Hugs!

Watching a child and their utter joy at the simple things can really put things in perspective doesn’t it. She is beautiful.. and you will figure it out.

As I read everyone’s blogs, yours included, I am humbled by what other people have to deal with. Respect. C xxx

Cancer certainly is good for one thing…perspective.
[Reply]
I’m not sure how I would deal with that diagnosis. But you have pretty good perspective. And I have to say your girl is a sweetie and you captured the shot wonderfully.
[Reply]
I’m so glad that she is your moment. When things start to overwhelm, take that moment, see her, and soak that in. <3 I can't imagine the journey will be easy, but it's a "piece" of it, not all of it.

Perspective is amazing…..

Sometimes we all need to brood. But that photo would surely pull me out of my brooding. Enjoy her!

Such a beautiful photo of your daughter. I agree with the others, it’s a great thing when you have something so wonderful as your child to help put everything in perspective.

What a beautiful post. Life is so confusing sometimes and I, like you, have found that sometimes just watching my kids at play seems to put that spark back in life. I love what they have to teach us in their every day innocence.

What a beautiful shot! Sometimes it’s just nice to get outside and forget all our worries.
[Reply]
Cancer is definitely not the ending… it is the beginning of life and love. You become more aware of everything and everyone that matter to you and you understand who really is important. You have a beautiful daughter who will make you laugh everyday and who will give you unconditional love. Cherish every moment. I am rooting for you.
