Two weeks on from the retox & I have spent some time reflecting on the year without beer ..... over 11K raised to help cancer patients get the treatment that they so desperately need .... a little better than my original target of 2K ! .... Im so pleased with the result & grateful to everyone who contributed to the years success ..... I have been back in hospital myself for my annual check & am delighted to report that all is good with me .... I truely have never felt stronger , fitter , happier or more content ....... what started out as a bit of a novelty turned into a life changing experience .... getting cancer in the first place was one & this another ... I have said it before but getting cancer was ... in a strange way one of the best things that ever happened to me .... it changed my priorities & outlook on so many things for the better .... it has improved the quality of my life .... it gave me a sharp reminder of what is really important in your life .... & believe or not it's not money or material things .... if you can look yourself in the mirror & be happy with what you see .... if you can love who you are as you are ...nothing else matters .... if you can love your family & friends for simply being there & dont be afraid to show them .... you wont go far wrong ..... Im so lucky to have Lyn , Adam & Cam .... along with my family & friends ..... they mean more to me than I can ever show or express ..... that's about it really .... a break from Facebook is on the cards & then on to the next project ... whatever that may be ..... see you somewhere in the future for a beer ! ........... cheers ...........
