Luke did the Ooogie Boogie pumpkin all by himself (He picked out the form and I traced it, but he did all the carving)!

VIM (or Very Important Milestone)
Today marks my Five Year Survivorship of Breast Cancer. I can't believe it's been 5 years...sometimes it seems like it just happened but most of the time it seems like another lifetime.
I have nothing really inspiring or dramatic to say about it. Maybe that is a good thing because it means that it is getting far enough behind me that I won't think as much about marking how much time has passed going forward. It's always there, in the back of my mind, but I am happy to say that I usually keep any worries shoved far, far down, not allowing them to intrude on my day-to-day happiness. I've noticed that I've gotten better at this as I've gotten older - worrying about things won't make them happen or not happen, so why waste precious energy on it? If it comes back, I'll deal with it then. (It might also be the Xanax or the booze keeping me calmer).
It's been a good 5 years. Here's to 5 more. And then 5 after that...and so on, and so on, and so on...
