Yesterday was October 1st. For most of the day I didn't think much about the date. I was aware that it was the beginning of October which isn't my favorite month. There are two many scary commercials, scary movies and scary costumes in one month. I was disappointed the football players weren't wearing pink. The date probably snuck up on them.
For a small second I remembered that it was 5 years ago yesterday that I was told I had breast cancer. I'm thankful that it was 5 years ago. I'm thankful for all that I can do now that was a question at the time.
Most of all, I'm thankful that October 1, 2012 and the events that followed made me slow down. They made me look and see and breathe. They made me put myself first instead of last. They made me become aware of what is most important and gave me the ability to choose what is most important rather than what was simply in front of me.
