Life After Cancer

Hopefully, You'll Never Need A Lifeboat
Hopefully, You'll Never Need A Lifeboat

Lane 8 focuses on our physical health and well being. Much of the content here is my own personal struggle, and triumph, over mediocrity and boredom. Therefore, running is what does it for me.

Today is not about running or high cholesterol.

It’s about cancer. And how to think and act “after cancer”.  This New York Times article shares very brief, but poignant summaries from cancer survivors.

It will inspire you to live, even if cancer hasn’t devastated your life.

What A Jerk!

The Road You Travel Is Up To You
The Road You Travel Is Up To You

That’s what people think. They think it and say it behind your back.

Showoff.  Ego-maniac.  Self-centered.  What a jerk!

And yet, deep down inside, they wish they had the focus and discipline it takes.

Sad thing is, they do, but they make so many excuses that they convince themselves they don’t.

Where are you?

Thank You Lorie Sheffer

Yesterday, Lorie Sheffer, from Pennsylvania, debuted here at Lane 8 as a Guest Blogger.

Most of you know she’s been appearing at Mid Life Celebration for several weeks, each Sunday, offering her unique wisdom and wit.

Lorie’s post yesterday was a great reminder, wasn’t it?

Health is relative.  It is in our own personal desires, wishes, hopes and comfort level that matter, not what society says is “healthy”.

You may also find Sally’s comment yesterday valuable.  Sally added another layer of perspective.

As you go through your Monday today, think about what health means to you. Who defines it for you?  Society? Or your own common sense?
