The Rainbow After The Storm

I wear two bracelets that have carried me through Cancer World for many years. My "Cancer Sucks" bracelet just puts it all into perspective.

If you didn't know about the colors of cancer, you'd think the other
bracelet was just colored beads wrapped around my wrist. But it's so much more. Each bead says a silent prayer for every person fighting every type of cancer.

So when a friend presented me with a gift of a multicolored scarf, I assumed she made it with the cancer colors in mind. You see where my mind is these days.

But I was wrong. In the card, she wrote, "I truly believe we cannot experience rainbows without walking through the eye of the storm." She'd made me a rainbow, until I'm able to find one on my own.

The My Cancer blog will have some interesting guest bloggers this week. October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month. With that in mind, two dear friends who are walking that road will share their experiences. And a familiar "voice" will also check in.

Have a good week, everyone.
