I am a bit like Ugly Betty. I am old, fat and ugly on the outside, but on the inside you will find I am beautiful, you see I am a 3 time cancer survivor (age 10, brain tumor[Menegeoma], age 21 Uterine Cancer [discovered when I was 6 months pregnant], age 35 skin cancer), as well as a 3 Service Connected Disabled Veteran (US Army 6 years). I am adopting my Husbands Boys that have been living with my Husband and I for 9 years, after my Husbands X stabbed him the in the stomach, in front of the boys. One needs a heart transplant (his heart is functioning at 30 ), One is Bipolar, and one has post traumatic stress and Oppositional defiant disorder.
I have tried to teach my kids, that nothing is so bad, that you can not over come it. Laughter goes a long way to making yourself, and those around you feel better.
I refuse to go to bed angry, and I refuse to wake up angry. I try and make the most out of every day (including taking time to stop and smell the roses). I just turned 46, and have done so much...I lived in Europe, I sang in a band, I play Cello and Bass, I love my kids, I have a great Husband...and you know, I don’t think I would have done so much if I had not had cancer. My personal philosophy about life reflects the Tim McGraw song "Live like you're dying" to quote the song;

 "Like tomorrow was a gift,
And you got eternity,
To think about what you'd do with it.
An’ what did you do with it?
An’ what can I do with it?
An’ what would I do with it? "
P.S. One of my few remaining goals in life, is to learn to surf!
