Before my mom got 'the breast cancer', as I call it, I would see those pink ribbons everywhere and never gave them a thought. They had no meaning. Then, all of a sudden, one day, it is MY mom telling me about her test results, and in that very second I changed. Suddenly, all those Race for the Cure and pink ribbon charms and car magnets meant something completely different. Those were (maybe) people in the world who knew how freaked out I was feeling and might be able to relate, or help, or listen, or something. So, yes, being mindful, that's the main thing. I am now super sensitive if someone says the 'c' word, because now I know how scary and REAL it is. I pray for you every day and enjoy reading your blog. Talk to you soon. Surely the most important thing is the being mindful :) Right?

So, yes, being mindful, that’s the main thing. I am now super sensitive if someone says the ‘c’ word, because now I know how scary and REAL it is.

I know I wouldn't talk like that to someone, but I also know I might tend to give an air of impatience in general (not specific to any disability.) Thank you for the reminder of general kindness and manners. And also, What the hell is wrong with people? AAAGH. That is ridiculous.

I know that I sometimes have that same air of impatience. It was probably worse before before my surgery, but now I find that it sometimes manifests toward people who don't understand what I'm saying. There are times I can tell that someone is trying very hard to understand what I'm saying, and I respect that. However, there are also times that I feel the person to whom I'm speaking isn't really paying attention or trying to understand. I perceive that this person just wants to make a point and move on; so I perceive this behavior as dismissive of me and my thoughts, words, and feelings. Then I, too, become impatient, possibly because I have completely misread the situation. I must be mindful as well. Thank you, Mary, for being so candid and honest.
