Day 374 - 'one' angry conversation

My hubby still likes me even though
I plant stinky lavender plants

I had going in my brain this am.  I started my day with my usual routine and then ran across that video that talks about how the whole 'cancer' industry is a farce.  That all the dr's, researchers, nurses, governments, caregivers, technicians, etc etc  all over this world are just after your $$$$.  This comes from someone who is trying to sell you their DVD's, book and eating program non-the-less.  It gets me so angry to think that those that are supposed to 'love' you no matter what have decided that because I have chosen the chemo route they will have nothing to do with me...
  argghhhhh.  I'm sorry but it makes me so angry. I was sad for awhile now I'm moving onto the angry stage, I think the next stage is grieving right?

My grandkids still like me even
though my hair is gray and
very unruly at times

It's like they won't have anything to do with me because of the color of my skin or my chosen religion.  I hang out with many people of different colors and different beliefs and that's what makes this world interesting.  Yes, I believe in free speech and chosen lifestyle but are they not condemning me for my chosen route?  Well I guess it's true, people don't care for you no matter what.  They care more for the articles they read, the news stories they see on TV, the non-dr's that swear that millions of people are falling for a government conspiracy and that what they hear from others is more important than relationships, people and supporting others no matter what.

others still like me because
I dream of living in
weird places

Do I feel better now that I have vented, no because venting doesn't change anything.  Others will believe what they believe and I can't control the chosen path that they chose.  Just as they can't control my choices either.  But what I can choose is to stand behind those I care for no matter what.  No matter the color of their skin, the choices they make in life, or the roads they choose to travel.  I choose to learn from the differences between us, I choose to help them in any way I can and I will choose to shout it from the rooftops when I am cured that every dr', researcher, nurse, government agency, caregiver, and /or technician that helped me get where I am deserves to be recognized, applauded, hugged, patted on the back and given an award for helping me and so many others battle this terrible disease and every psychological challenge that comes with it.   

So when I go to chemo today, I will not leave my oncology nurse a $ tip, I will not see $$$ being paid at the clinic's chemo desk and I will not see signs that say if you buy this in the next 24 hours you will also receive...=0)  What I will see is lots of smiling faces through much pain inside and out, I will hear laughter through worries and fears and I will see people who like me no matter what and treat me with respect no matter the color of my skin, my beliefs in religion or the route that I have chosen for my cancer journey.  Yep that's my day...and I'm glad I'm in it! 

Please try to look at others as they are and not as you think they should be.  Just because they believe in different things doesn't mean they deserve any less respect...you think that adults would remember to treat others as you would like to be treated...sheesh!
