This morning I woke up and for the first time since Thursday I felt lucid, energized and HAPPY! I got a pedicure, had lunch with my friend and spent a nice afternoon with the girls. I did spend some time resting in bed but I did not take a nap ONCE! I'm tired now, trust me, but it feels great to have had a normal day today. I cooked some dinner, did bath and bedtime and feel very accomplished. It's an amazing feeling to see myself on the other side of a treatment (even if I have a few setbacks in the next couple of days). I finally feel like I can make some plans and think beyond tomorrow.
It's pretty powerful how an experience like this can change what you appreciate it. Today I was just thankful for the ability to eat with my girls, do some dishes, and be social. A month ago I would have taken those simple things for granted and never even really acknowledged their significance.

I love you so much Jen, you are so smart to have this amazing attitude and to have taken the time to grow and rethink your perspective on life. I am constantly in awe of you perserverance and strength. I think you are so lucky to have Jason, but he is equally lucky to have you, many women could not fight through this with such a positive approach. Love and kisses, Me
