I am a widow since 2013 and live by myself in a small apartment. I use a wheelchair to get around, but I wouldn't consider myself disabled. I'm 11 years away from having bladder cancer resulting in a urostomy and I'm doing well. This cancer was a result of having radiation in 1995 because of uterine cancer. So have faith in yourself, a cancer diagnosis is not a death sentence. My first try at blogging was an attempt to help other people with my condition. I am a mother of three married children, and a grandmother to eight gorgeous kids, featuring them often here, and a great grandmother to two as of today, 6/7/25! I enjoy exploring my feelings and like to try the challenges. I like humor, music, movies, games, and some sports. I absolutely appreciate your reading and commenting on my blog. I am happy to read all of your blogs and learn more about you. Please comment however you like, ask whatever, and I'll answer honestly. Thanks for reading! Cheryl

Holiday Duties

🎄🎄🎄

What a beautiful sight, I’m zapped

House cleaned, all presents wrapped

I had to lionize my body and mind

Was putting it off, getting behind

But now feeling jovial, thought I would share

And write a short note to myself to compare

For next year to read and give advice

Cleaning is naughty but completed is nice.

🎄🎄🎄

No Thankyou

Grandchildren want to propine a gift

Thinking I’m sitting alone in my shift

I declined the offer of some kitties

As I sung my distaste with a ditty

Proclaiming my preference to be alone

Besides, a large dog is all I’d ever own

Animals, birds, or even a fish

Having none of these is my wish.

MLMM Tale Weaver- Holiday Wish

If I had the money

I’d help you, honey

With a franchise of fairies

To ease troubles you carry.

They would not be shy

In their efforts to try

To relieve problems, varied

And help in this time so harried.
