What a difference a year makes....someone said that to me the other day. I've heard this phrase many times throughout my life. This phrase has more significance in my life more than it ever has before. A year ago I was going through a big ordeal. I was diagnosed with thyroid cancer. I was clueless what this meant. The cancer diagnosis rocked my world literally. The fear of the unknown was the most troubling. Fortunately, I had God and a strong support system on my side. Now, I think back over the past year and what a difference a year makes. The difference is huge. Although many people in my life and those that meet me do not realize the difference I do. My life will be forever changed because I had cancer and fought it. I had awesome doctors, God, and a strong support system on my side. I spoke about my scar diminishing in a previous post and that has happened. I still notice it every time I look in the mirror. It reminds me it happened and I have happy thoughts. I have a lot of living to do and more to accomplish in my life. This was just a detour for awhile. God gets all the credit for bringing me through this and I am glad I have remained close with him. This was also stated in a previous post and still true. I have a great life and so glad God control every aspect of my life throughout the past year.
This time last year I was preparing for major surgery. I had no idea what the after effects would be but for some odd reason I did not care. I was at peace and God was taking care of everything. I do not remember much about the day except for the two hours preceding my surgery and a few hours later that evening. I was nervous and a bit scared. I was crying as I hugged my parents and Manny, my then boyfriend. As the nurses prepped me for surgery peace took over my body. I stopped crying and God took control. I want and need that peace back in my life again.I am the same person I have always been, but I am changed. I cannot fully describe this change, but inside I know I am different. So to this person who said "what a difference year makes"....thank you. 1 year makes various amounts of differences in each person's life. This past year made a huge difference in my life. I am happy and blessed to be alive. Although, my life was never in danger the changes were necessary for my future. I am reminded everyday how good God is and he really is good. Still praying and hoping for a long-lasting relationship with a guy who loves me and I love him.
Truly blessed...until next time...
