What I learned from a cartoon.

While picking up around the apartment this morning and Jake was enjoying a bizarre cartoon called "Viva Pinata" I heard something that made me stop and think and breathe a little easier.

Whatever they were discussing, the fact of the matter was that the problem lay in how one character was REACTING to their situation, and NOT the situation itself. Pretty deep for a bunch of computer generated Pinata's that have wacky adventures - lol.

My friend Lisa would say that is a perfect example of allowing myself to be a slave to the devil.

So if I look at this from the perspective that it is a stage, that it will pass, that the hair will return, that the cancer will be gone, that my life will begin anew, and I hold my head up high (I'm not much of a wallflower anyway) then I will get through this a bit easier.

Anyway, I've got piles of hair in the trash and in the shower this morning. Laura will be over in a couple hours to shave my head. I'll have pictures, but not sure how much I'll want to share, so "bare" with me!!!! AHHHHHH!!!! Oh boy...I'd better not quit my day job.

Enjoy your day. It is Saturday. Spend time with those you love. Appreciate what you have.
