Blog Redesign

Because I need to add one more thing to our already hectic schedule, I'm going to try to get back into blogging. For a while now, I've struggled with what to write now that my cancer treatments are over. Our life is pretty routine now, I still suffer from the lasting effects of chemo and radiation but our weeks/months are no longer filled with doctor appts and scans. Our focus has shifted back to work, school, and the everyday hustle and bustle of life. Cancer changed our family, my journey will never be over but it feels good to ride with it in the backseat instead of shotgun!

My focus in life is different, I try not to take each day for granted and try to approach it with a positive attitude (this is a work in progress). I look for joy, even in the small things and want to share that with others. That's where I hope to shift the focus of this blog - things that bring me joy. Most days, I'm all over the place so I wouldn't be surprised if this blog followed the same format but I hope that in the mess of the things that bring me joy, you can find something that brings joy to you as well.

In my desire to clean up and redesign my blog, I somehow managed to delete the pictures attached to my previous posts. Unfortunately, I don't think I will ever be able to recover them and get them back on blog. The most important part to me is the writing. Aiden doesn't remember much of my treatment since he was so little, I want him to have this blog to look back on when he is older (of he wants to).

I hope you will join me on my quest to find the joy in everyday life!
