Stuff I've realised since having cancer

In the past eight days lots of things in my life have been put into perspective.

Obviously.

It's amazing how you start to see things through different eyes. The same eyes. But with a different perspective.

Instantly.

Here's a few things I've noticed . . .

1. Reflecting on cherished memories is as invigorating as chasing new ones.
2. When a loved one offers affection, embrace it, and return it with interest.
3. Physical pain is easily-peasily beaten with mental strength.
4. Rugby is just a game. Even the dictionary says so.
5. Most governments and corporations are wildly out of touch with the man on the street.
6. Those with cancer suffer less than those close to them.
7. Conversation is a dying art form that must be kept alive.
8. When getting out of bed without your operation scar hurting is your only concern, you really are pretty fortunate.
9. Savouring a fresh juice alongside a favourite song really is the definition of bliss.
10. The human body is nothing without a soul inside it.
