How do you measure....

A Year in the Life.... So many people have crossed our path, so many lives we have been honored to touch with the comfort of a small basket, a get well card, a telephone call. How do you measure your life? Do you have a day to day routine,a regular job, wonderful family and friends even a few activities during the week or weekend. Each and every person measures their life differently. 

Once you have a cancer diagnosis this routine changes, your days are different, your nights consist of new routines, new 'to do lists', your family takes on a new role of care giver, nurse, and google expert. (each of you who have ever supported someone battling cancer knows what this means)

We all have a place in this world, Our stay here might not be long for everyone we do choose the writing on our headstone. 

We are blessed to have our place in this world, a world so full of uncertainty, violence, tragedy... and of course a place in this world still so full of Love, Compassion, Commitment, Loyalty... yes it still exists. 

With each step we take we can decide to walk on someone, walk around them or walk beside them. You choose. We did. 

Battling Life Together has been a journey for each of the BLT Ladies as well, we have met new and wonderful people. Found so much love surrounding this journey and compassion for each other. We are paying it forward everyday. We have each experienced this disease from different perspectives, not physically diagnosed with the disease we carry it in our hearts, on our minds and have clear memories of each person we have walked this journey with. 

With the right steps every minute can be useful, helpful, healing and memorable. 529.600 minutes... how will you spend yours?
