Almost a year ago, I received a diagnosis I did not expect, terminal pancreatic cancer.

When I received the diagnosis, I didn’t know I’d get another 365 days to live. I was not given any odds that I’d still be around a year later. So it makes every day such a gift because it’s a day I didn’t think I’d have.

As humans we have the pleasure of both thinking and feeling. Every day is filled with experiences that challenge both our mental and emotional intellect.

I am not at a loss for ideas. There are some days when they just hit me. I feel the glow of excitement, my brain runs at a million miles per hour and I can’t wait to begin.

I’m going to ask you all for a favor.  I’ve blogged more or less faithfully since I was diagnosed with cancer last November.   The effects of the chemo treatments I’ve received are cumulative, and they’re catching up to me.
