The tightrope


Last Monday, in yoga class Ramiro ... I heard a word you know.

Ramiro began one of his stories metaphorically speaking of a tightrope walker .

The theme of the day was ... the balance . And the way to go, he says, is caring for the physical, mental and emotional.

"Just as tightrope - said attempts to compensate for her weight from side to side, again and again not to fall, so we must seek balance in all aspects of our life ".

His talks like a lot and I quieted my mind as much as I want, sometimes escapes me.

And the teacher says that " when that happens ... the mind to escape, you have to catch it and again" and me ... I make the effort necessary.

But the mind sometimes betray us and go by dark paths, a forest at night, with huge monsters that we fear we catch and prevent us from seeing the light.

Luckily, those moments are the least and when they come, my sister is at my side to get me out of there and back the laughter. Laughter common among members of my family ... and for us the mood, is the most powerful tool there to soothe all ills.

And lately ... so I'm looking for balance and permanently ... making up the sides to get it.

Best of all is ... transit this road hand in hand with S, my sister ... a special being with a fragile appearance, but with a strength that you laugh the Royal Palace.

We love and best of all ... is that what we always say, and give us huge hugs and gives me the energy ... I do not know where the bag but has in abundance!.

As my nephew B-in an email that sent me last night that made us laugh out loud two- "aunt ... I know that everything will be okay because Mom and ... together you have more energy than a pack of cereal bars. " Divine my nephew ... and he's right.

As part of the search for balance, I changed my habits from my previous life ... at February 23, the day I knew I had breast cancer.

I'm reading several books that report ... that is the most appropriate food to fight cancer, what type of physical activity are recommended, what type of meditation / thoughts / statements are required to know and much more. And with this information ... I have put in place. I returned

yoga, my diet has become almost 100% healthy, I take vitamin supplements to strengthen my immune system, I sought counseling, I am exercising daily, etc.etc.etc.

And all this I do to take care of my body and my mind and prepare for the special time that I have to travel with my tricycle.

may be that the road is long, but I'm going traveling as it comes ... in stages.

The first was hard but it happened. That was the news, with subsequent emotional shock. Now I am in another time so I can say and pa ta 1 beat! .

Now we are walking the stage 2 it is time for medical tests. Some I have already done this past week. Are other groups that I have to do starting tomorrow, but all will leave with the same attitude that I had stage 1 ... with optimism and positive thinking.

The stage 3 start ... April 3, the day that I have an appointment with the surgeon and, with all results in his hand, tell me how we started ... to solve this .

of so much information that I'm brooding that impressed me most is ... the origin of cancer.

is not a virus, not bacteria, is a mutation of cells in our own evil. And the reasons to be transformed, escalate and expand ... is unknown. All information summarizes that "Cancer is caused by abnormalities in the genetic material of cells."

also said to There are several risk factors ... smoking, family history, and stress among others. And we know that stress and I for some time so we are close ... I'm reorganizing my life ... learn to live better.

My mind has a clear objective: to treat, cure and resume my normal life, but enhanced by the experience of this rut.

I know that I will soon. I'm convinced of it ... every day that passes ... more.

The surgeon has liked me, a woman, is young and it's nice for me and these details are important.

So here I ... like a tightrope walker or an acrobat or juggler ... passing this time different.

Kisses for all and thanks for caring about me.

tricycles You'll see this happen as a champion of course ... with Dido and her great aunt ... my sister and good energy to you all.

to take care of yourselves ... and I will continue to count.
