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 469 - 'one' strange dream

Do you remember some of the dreams you used to have as a kid.  I remember I used to dream of flying.  I used to fly down our stairs and then out into an incredible sunny day.  Then I would notice that no one could see me, what a treat that was.  Flying from place to place listening to people's conversations.  There are times as an adult that I wish I could be a fly on the wall and listen to what other's lives are like...

Day 466 - 'one' suspiciously good day!

Working in my potting area
Yep that was yesterday, one suspiciously good day. Like I said I never know what a day will bring.  As I wrote my blog first thing in the morning the uncertainty of the day frustrated me, now you do know I like to have control of things right?  right? right?  I can't hear you? LOL...

Day 465 - 'one' frosty morning

Yep the frosty mornings have arrived.  That thin white coating of fuzz on the tops of the trees and neighbours rooftops as well.  I must go get the last of my lavender soon and get it planted in its new home before frost finds itself in the warm earth...

Day 462 - 'one' stubborn turkey

Dudley was sick of us
taking pictures.  He is showing his
best side! LOL
yep that's what we had, was one stubborn turkey.  We have been trying to have turkey dinner with my youngest girls family for quite sometime now.  Either someone would get sick and trying to get the two guys work days off on the same day has been quite fun.  But we managed to do it yesterday.  Well we managed to 'think' that yesterday was the day.  Well it was my turn not to feel well.  I tried really hard to ignore the way I was feeling with the thought that if I just ignore it, it would just go away.  Yep away...

Day 461 - 'one' barf bag or two?

We spent the last 3 days in a place called Tofino on Vancouver Island.  It's the only place in BC that people can actually surf the big waves, well at least it's the only place I've seen them do it in BC.  The drive there was great until we hit the zig zag portion, yuck, or should I say barf! LOL.  What a great time we had walking on the beach that seemed to go on forever and cooking our meals together, playing cards of course and thinking about where we shall go next...

Day 457 - 'one' instant response

my body now has to food.  Gagging.  Yep isn't that exciting, and it's a great way to clear the room.  Dudley runs out of the room because he knows what will follow soon and Ray runs for my friend Bill the bucket!  It's such a weird sensation.  Most of the time it's just a disgusting noise. Aren't you glad you don't live with us and I'm sure you won't be inviting me over for a meal with you soon ;-)...

Day 450 - 'one', two, no three different people

ahh the days when I had enough
hair to use curlers.
It's been a day of contemplating the many changes I've made in my life over the past year.  Now I contemplate the changes I need to make for this new edition of me.  It has taken almost a month for my body to recover from the deluge of drugs it endured over the last year.  I'm sure it's not finished adjusting yet but feeling so normal the last few days does put a new spin on how I'm thinking...

Day 449 - 'one' excuse or another

Well hello there! It's been awhile hasn't it? Why you ask? I could use many excuses but the main was I felt like I didn't have anything new to write about.  Yep, that's true, there are times that I just don't know what to write.

The provincial Home Care system has kicked in...

Day 445 - 'one' winner

Yep...it's me! I'm in my new potting area in the back yard.
Yep...it's me!!!!
There is so much more than beating someone in a challenge to be a winner.  I see many winners everyday.  Mind you I see many losers as well.  Unfortunately it's the losers that seem to stick in our minds more than the winners.  You know those losers...

Day 444 - 'one' cool chick


On the way to the play...
the buddy holly story.
 woohoo! Yep that's what I am, one cool chick.  Bet you never thought you'd see an old lady being a cool chicky eh?  But of course you know what I am referring to right?  My temperature.  The fever seems to have left the premises, my premises that is.  This was similar to my last round of fever.  No explanation just a high fever for a few days and then it just gradually goes away.

Hubby and I went to a play last night, it was the Buddy Holly Story...
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.
