Single with Breast Cancer-My journey

I was so healthy, so young and so happy at age 55. I did not expect a call from the hospital informing me I had breast cancer. I didn't want to deal with this. It seems that God had finally found a way to sit me still long enough to figure out my life. I would learn why this disease entered my life at this time. I would learn to love myself. I would learn to give up the things that took me off my journey in life and notice the gifts God gave me to keep me on my true journey. I learned to be grateful everyday of my life. I learned to change the things I hated waking up to and making my dreams happen for me. With God's help of course. I managed to bring a puppy in my life that would take me on a journey of its own.I knew on my journey with breast cancer I would overcome this disease and it would be just another bump in the road. It was my detour as I was on a path I should not be on.I took breast cancer for what it was. God was making his statement and it was loud and clear to me. I was given the chance to re-evaluate my life and start living it. I was given the chance to take hold of what I really wanted in this lifetime and make it happen. There is no good time and no good reason to put things off. You are the holder to that key. However it needs to be, you allow your desires to come in to you life.This is one life, one chance and no one should leave this show with a desire. No one should have to utter the words "I wish I did" - "I wish I could". I had made myself too busy to listen to what God was telling me for years. I was not able to give it all up to God. I felt I needed to control my life to make things happen myself. How foolish was I? Did I really think I could accomplish anything in life without God's help?
