“You have to do something. You can’t just sit or stand there and do nothing.” – the angel that sat on my shoulder
So, we’re talking routines again today.
Before the oncoming deluge of appointments and procedures over the next 10 days and beyond, I forced myself to take stock of how bad I let things physically get around me because of my current mental state. All this time later, and I’m still trying to process my feelings not only regarding said diagnosis, but facing fears over my mother passing from cancer last year. They are the same thing (as it’s cancer in both cases), yet they’re different (mum passed from cancer of the kidneys, and she’s suffering from cancer of the throat).
As much as I try to put a good face on, and a positive step forward; it’s incredibly easy to backslide into old habits; especially on bad days. Never the less, we must press forward.
