Well here goes. I have no idea how this blogging works, but what the heck. I don't see any score cards around....Maybe some day I will figure this out or get some help, but for now my words will have to do. No pretty pictures yet.
I discovered this medium about a year ago when I happened upon The House in The Roses and Cielo. She is just the sweetest lady and I love the way she writes. From her blog list I started looking at other sites and have spent countless hours looking at so many beautiful homes, gardens and reading the words of many lovely ladies. Some you really connect to and some are just interesting, but the common thread in all the blogs is that special quality we women have. No matter what our age, some of us still have a young heart and magic in or souls that will keep us young forever.
I was diagnosed with a rare form of cancer 2 years ago, ocular melanoma. It was quite the shock as I have been healthy most of my life. The type I have does not have a very good survival rate and while I have this fact in my mind, it still is not real to me. I really believe that if I didn't have the ability to see things the way I want to and not accept what the doctors say, I would not be doing as well as I am. I have gone through the treatments for this condition, including chemo(what a living hell that was) I still have sight in that eye and I didn't loose my hair. I am sure as women you can relate to how important our hair is, so I consider myself so very lucky. I have very long hair and I intend on keeping it. My point is, the ability to be believe in magic and make believe is such an important quality to have. It will get you through the worst of times and keep you young at heart.
So here's to seeing you all at the next tea party in fairyland. Invite all the witches, fairies and creatures of the forest and we can dress in our finest and celebrate life.
Thanks for listening.
