National Cancer Survivors Day

Yesterday, Sunday, June 5th was National Cancer Survivors Day. This day is said to be a, "CELEBRATION for those who have survived, an INSPIRATION for those recently diagnosed, a gathering of SUPPORT for families, and an OUTREACH to the community."

It was definitely a day of celebration for me for so many reasons. The main reason is I thought about ALL I have been through and realized I'm still standing and I certainly don't look like what I've been through. It is because of GRACE and MERCY. 

I took some pictures to celebrate being an OVERCOMER because that is what we all are. I have overcome cancer and recently and still in the process of my weight and ofcourse so many other things in my life and I wanted to document yesterday because regardless of life circumstances, regardless of whatever has been taken I never let it take my joy. I still have JOY. Unspeakable JOY.

Here are a few pictures to document my joy and my weight loss journey. This dress was one of my Christmas gifts from my husband who bought it two dress sizes smaller then to motivate me to reach new goals. Well folks I've accomplished that so now I think its time for him to buy me something else for the motivation. Don't you agree?! ;)
