Let's drink to that

One year ago today, I was diagnosed with breast cancer. Time goes by so fast. It's hard to imagine that just a few months ago I was in agonizing pain from chemotherapy. My energy levels are still low, but they're higher than during treatment and they're increasing every day. It's a privilege to celebrate my one year survivorship on a tropical island in Thailand, I feel so blessed. I just hope the cancer won't recur and I get to live a long and healthy life. Those are my wishes for 2012 and the years thereafter. Merry Christmas everyone!

Santa came early this year


Got these nice-looking Bavarian hiking boots from my boyfriend. We're leaving for Thailand on Sunday and we're planning on doing a lot of walking in nature there. Needless to say, I'm super excited about this trip. I've spent the entire week making all kinds of preparations. Packing my suitcases tomorrow. I won't bring much with me, because I want to leave enough space for souvenirs.
