Let people believe in you… as you have them … and if you can - always take the high road...

​So this is chemo day one.  i have gotten up dressed and am sitting on the couch beside my hound. I am really eating cereal. My chair time as they call it - is for 1 pm.  I am counting cheerios - they really do float together if there are just two. 

Liza coaxes me into the car and with a fresh pink chemo pass on the dash we head for the first dip - the first prick - into - well i have no idea…. but i have other ideas….

​And  i have thoughts. None of which are all that positive - ( kelly turn it around) 

BUT i am trying to stay sooo positive - just stay positive - just stay open - (i am tweeting myself.)  

We enter the clinic  - turn  a quick left and we hear a weak but powerful - "Hello Kelly Dear!"

And there are two of my most cherished role models - brilliant and forward thinking humans - two people who stood beside me - quietly  - in the dark times - two people who have just fought cancer as a team - two people not expecting to see me - 

​as i was not expecting to see them on their last day of treatment - They did it  I HAVE to do it.

​So i had to be upbeat - i had to be positive - they believed in me - and i in them - what a gift - So

 Off I went into stand up panic mode -" ha ha ha"  - (Liza save me from myself) 

Liza let us joke about for a bit - but then she gently guided me towards the far left exit with the stairs.
 
There would be no elevators for me. Not today not ever. 
I promised myself if i could  - i would always take the stairs.

​Because  -

As my Momma taught me  - so so many years ago -  the high road is always - a bit darker - a bit more lonely - sometimes longer - always steeper -  but when you get to the top - 

"KM the view of yourself you get is always worth it. "
