Brain Tumor Thursday (insert something witty and profound here)

First off let me say that if you found me via Twitter, welcome in. I’m a newbie at it so please be patient with my hashtag skills or lack thereof. Please take a moment and pop around this blog to find the area or subject regarding my brain tumor experience you’re interested in. I will try to get back with any questions as soon as I can. But be patient- I don’t check in anymore as often as I used to.

Actually, it’s been so long since I’ve stopped in here, I have to get re-familiarized with my own blog. How bad is that?

For the people who have been following me for a while, rest assured that I’m still here! Still alive and kickin’ (higher than usual, actually.) šŸ™‚

It’s true, though. I’ve been insanely busy –for me– the past couple of months.

My family and I did another Color Run recently and, like last year, had a blast. I highly recommend it. The beauty of the Color Run is that you don’t actually have to run and there are plenty of people who just walk it. Myself included. (If you’re thinking of doing one of these yourself, make sure to take a handkerchief large enough to wear around your neck so you can cover your nose and mouth as you run through the color. Even though we did that, we still were blowing blue color out our noses for two days afterwards.)

Coming up shortly, we’ll be walking our first BT5k. If you’re not familiar with the BT5k, it’s a 5k walk for the ABTA (American Brain Tumor Association) that helps to raise funds for brain tumor research. We haven’t reached our goal in the fundraising department yet, but there’s still time. I’m nothing if not optimistic.

I’m also starting a small cottage baking business, which has taken up much of my free time. I get to share my unhealthy love of carbs and sugar with the world!

It’s nice to be able to think about something else other than the tumor for the first time in a long, long, time. If you’re new here or you’re having a bad day – whether it be mentally or physically (really, is there a difference with this?), please, please know that there’s always hope. I never thought I’d have room to dream again, and here I am, dreaming new dreams.

Much love, all.

I’ll post my Twitter link in a bit. šŸ˜‰

… like I said, I’m new at this and can’t figure out how to do a direct link. In any case you can find me on Twitter (only VERY occasionally) @PrismBalance . Hopefully you Twitter savvy peeps can figure out how to find me from there. Unless of course that’s how you found me to begin with. Oh, phht! Whatever. I’m a dweeb.
