Today, I have balanced some of the scars that I have developed over this last year and a half.  In the past I have written about my scars, both the external and the internal ones.  I have spent a lot of time working to be okay with these and actually assimilate them into my being.  They are a part of my journey and show the weight of the changes that have happened in my life.  I do not dislike them or even regret them.  However, balance in life is important to me.  I now have balance.  For my birthday I asked Jim for a special present.  I wanted to commemorate my victory over cancer permanently.  This is my birthday present from Jim.  I cannot tell you how good it feels to have been able to add something so meaningful to my body.

I don’t know any of your views on tattoos.  However, I can tell you that each one that I have gotten has a very specific and special meaning in my life.  This one is no different.  Actually, this one is likely the most important to me as it shows that I beat cancer!  Yep!  Cancer didn’t leave me any scars that were this pretty.  🙂

On a side note, all is well in eating land.  Still happily in my mode of the new normal!
