Apologies for the lack of activity here – I have been a little on the busy side, which is great!
I’m managing to achieve a lot more of the day-to-day tasks (albeit under time-lapse conditions on occassions!), and reaching goals at work has become easier these past few weeks.
Part of the reason is most certainly that I’m feeling stronger by the day, another part is due to my negotiating tactics. I’m playing that old game of ‘what’s really important?’ and I guess learning not to be too hard on myself should things get on top of me.
Some of these skills have been highlighted in my weekly visits to the Cancer Council. It runs a support group under the guise of a ‘Healthy Active Living Program’. Every kind of expert from Occupational Therapists, to Physio’s, Social Workers, Dieticians etc. come and have a chat to the group of cancer patients. As well as having access to these professionals – it’s a great opportunity to share time and experiences with others in the same/similar boat. I’ve met some terrific, brave and lovely people. (And hope to share more about some of them in future posts).We also do a session of Tai Chi at each get-together – which I just love.
I’ve also been preparing a presentation for a special event, which occured this morning. Through a dear friend Kay Evans – I was asked be guest speaker at the Women In Tourism breakfast for October. (Breast Cancer Awareness month.) There was an amazingly positive vibe in the room which was a sea of pink! Paul and my Mum came along, as did some wonderfully supportive friends. I’m grateful for the opportunity to have shared a bit of my story with so many people from such a wide variety of industries and backgrounds, in an effort to help raise awareness.
