Yesterday I took my son shopping with me. He's 18 years old. We went out to buy Thank You cards for people who sent me birthday cards this week. I also bought a garden plaque for a friend who often prays for me.
Birthdays are a pretty big deal for me. I was diagnosed with stage 4 cancer at the beginning of last year. Being kind and hopefully inspiring to every and anyone that I can has always been a part of who I am, now I use my time making sure that I convey my appreciation as freely as I possibly can.
I give warm hugs to people that I encounter when I go out because you never know when connecting to someone will lift their spirits. For the time that I have, I want to spend it being a light to others. This will be my second birthday inside of my diagnosis. I intend on spending it doing kind deeds and passing out Smile Cards.

May i suggest you 'the secret' movie, it showed how the laughter healed people bodies. Kindness and laughter together surely will be miracle. And if you have time, do read 'dying to be me' - the book on near death experience of last stage cancer patient and how she got healed completely. Miracle happens.
I wish you the the complete recovery.
