Saturday was a day-of-note for me. The anniversary of my final chemo treatment.
Three years.
And what did I do to mark the occasion? Well. An intense spinning class. A long walk with Jenny. A letter to my oldest friend. Pruning roses. (Yeah. It was that nice.) Chocolate biscotti with my tea. Vacuuming. Some knitting. And a glass of wine.
Ordinary stuff.
The stuff of life.

Congratulations on getting through the chemo in one piece and for embracing all the little stuff. The little stuff is how we mark our days and fill our lives. You're filling yours with the good stuff.
Btw, wanna come over and chop my roses? I'm only 6 weeks late. *L*
