Niney-nine point nine percent of my life and time is *not* devoted to cancer or any facet of it.
Out local-yokel paper did an article this week about our business. It's mostly about my wife, but I got a mention too.
I've always felt that when our attention is directed away from ourselves and is focused on something or someone we love, for that wonderful moment we're cancer-free. I was at a music festival a couple of weeks ago and there were four children in the camp who were singing a bluegrass song. One of the little girls was four years old. It was such a beautiful and remarkable joy to watch that cancer couldn't have been further from my mind. While they were singing, I didn't have cancer. Or bills to pay. Or work piling up for me at home.
Rescuing labrador retrievers, which is what the article is about, is another of those activities for me.
