Never Underestimate The Power of 'One'

Purple Ladybug (that's me) believes in the strong power of 'ONE'...one person, one smile, one hug or ? All it takes is 'ONE' thing to happen during your day to change the way you feel, it may be amazing or even heartbreaking. We face many 'ONE's each and every day, so join me as I take my future 'ONE' day at a time and write about my journey as a cancer conquerer and the 'ONE's in my daily life.

Day 201 - 'one' fun time

Well I guess you could say that.  One thing about going to the hospital to get tests you always appreciate arriving at home.  Warm, comfy, inviting and germ free home! LOL

It's funny...

I was wondering in the backyard with My Dudley this am and wondering what one thing would I keep doing when I am ALL better?

'one' back to work

Yep...the old man's back to work, wahhhhhh ;-).  In some ways it means me too, again, wahhhhh.  The household duties are all mine again, woohoo.  It was so nice having someone to do them with.  Someone there to do the yak yak with as you cook or sweep.

'one' special place

We all have at least one of those.  Mine is Lavenderville.  I find it hard to leave every time I go.  It's a place where you can stand...

'one' shovel at a time

Yes well maybe you are right, I do shovel a lot of 'beep' on you guys.  But I think you can take it.  Today was a day of shoveling a lot of dirt as my project begins.

'one' blessing?

or more than 'one' blessing.  When I do my 'c' homework I read alot about people that say that 'c' was a blessing for them, it changed their lives.  Well I admit that it's definitely changed my life but a blessing that I'm not sure.

'one' fine date

Ray's remembering the good old days!
Well it's the last week of Ray's holidays.  It's going to be hard when he goes back to work, I may have to bug friends and family more.  There, you are warned! LOL

We decided to do some running around and ended up going to White Spot.  We actually couldn't even remember the last time we were there.  I do...

'one' gentle reminder

Well maybe NOT so gentle!

I've been a little frustrated, as I'm sure you've noticed, with my lack of energy and attitude the last week.  It's hard to swing from 4 weeks of woohoo

What do ya do when...

ya don't feel like do'in anything.  It's been this way for a week now, so frustrating! My hubby has been pull'n up the reins around here quite a bit to say the least.

wanted 'one' sense of humour

look at that full of head of hair! Those were the days my friend...LOL
OK...so I've been zoning for a couple days now, I want to snap out of it! The only way I can think of how to snap out of it is to look at things in a different way.

'one' thought or another?

I wonder if anyone has really counted all the thoughts that go around in your brain in day.  Thousands, millions, too many for sure.

'one' piece of licorice...I think NOT!

Stay inside...the world is crazy out there Dudley!
Is it really possible? To only take a little of something you really love.  Why is it there is soooo much trouble around us some days and we choose to deny ourselves some fun...

'one' empty brain

In a good way I suppose.  I've been stuck for the last couple days on what to write on my blog.  Life is just that uneventful.  My body is re-adjusting to the chemo treatment I had on Friday...

'one' bright light

here come the chins...here come the chins! LOL
Well today was chemo day.  It felt soooo different today.  I wasn't nervous and crocheted bands for my new hats the whole time.  It's always a little bit of a challenge when you have a needle in your wrist to manipulate the hook but I made 5 of them.  I am now working on a design for inside wear for a chemo hat.

'one' record playing over and over again

yummy crab for dinner last night
You know records...those black plastic things that go round and round and play music.  I have one that keeps playing the same song over and over in my brain for years and years, that's why it's a record not a dvd...

'one' high energy day

my message to my hubby
Well its been one high energy day.  Woke up to a whole lotta snow, about 8"...don't laugh you edmontonians, to us in 8 hours that's a lot.  As usual the city is in turmoil with this much snow, schools are out, colleges, universities...

'one' way of think'n

Just a LITTLE hail storm
I was contemplating my last blog and wondering if it was true that the dreams that I have in my life are mostly about things.  You know, farm, truck, making furniture. Perhaps I was a little disappointed in myself...

'one' spark can lead to a...

fire, no arguing that one eh?

I was working on my charity hats today, I find sewing very therapeutic.  I was thinking about the important things in life.  One thing you always think about when there may be a limited time you may be around is...

"One's" ability to giggle.



Do you have the ability to giggle? I mean downright, face hurting, feel like you are going to pee your pants giggling!

As adults we wean ourselves out of the fun that is life.  When we were children it was soooo easy, but as adults we have trained ourselves to take life and ourselves way too seriously! To focus on our responsibilities...

Moving 'one' mountain

a day at a time.  Funny thing happened today.  Before I was branded with the 'C', when I got frustrated with the way things were going in life I would feel like I was taking 2 steps forward and 5 steps back.  A feeling that you aren't really getting anywhere, you know, the hamster in the wheel going round and round. 

Today was different...

'one' or is it 'two' melt down day.

The day started out great, we decided to go treasure hunt'n at some local thrift shops.  What fun, going from store to store looking for stuff we don't need.  I found some fabric...

'one' perplexed body

Yes I can even work in my moomoo!
Yep that's the thought of the day.  I just finished cleaning out my closet, yet again.  Cleaning it out of the clothes that no longer fit me.  What a year for my closet...

Which 'one' do you pay attention too?

Cluttered counter or what? Yogurt cook'n
A couple of fun days.  New things to do and new energy to test out.  I began working on another step stool for my Dudley yesterday.  My hubby has decided he has room for me in his woodworking shop...
It may be when we no longer know what to do, we have come to our real work, and that when we no longer know which way to go, we have begun our real journey.
