cancer thriver
Manage episode 403708442 series 2908907
Blissful takes her first hike on a trail after surgery for breast cancer and decides she prefers to be described as a "thriver" – or even "aliver" – rather than survivor.
- It's a hot, humid summer day at Lebanon Hills, a region carved by glaciers with kettles and eskers, plus the singing of numerous birds.
- Blissful's surgeon tells her it's time to put on a backpack and get back on trail, even though she's isn't completely healed.
- Illness humbles us and teaches us about our vulnerability and ultimate decline, and yet it opens us up to discover our superpowers, like moving forward to see what's next.
- It's the price we pay for being alive, but it offers us a chance to appreciate what we have even more.
MUSIC: Poema del Pastor Coya by Angel Lasala as played by Alison Young, flute and Vicki Seldon, piano.
