You never know what a day will bring

This morning I logged onto my e-mail to see if I was needed to do an art lesson and was met with unexpected news.

A friend who I've known online for 11 years and have met in person once (she spent a few days near my house and I was her "tour guide.") found out she has breast cancer. Her and a friend decided to take advantage of free mammograms at a clinic near their home just for the heck of it. She found out she's in pretty advanced stages of breast cancer.

Sure made me think this morning - what I take for granted - what we all take for granted. One day you're gettting a free mammogram on a whim, the next day you're planning for a masectomy and chemo and all of the things that entails.

I guess it's another reminder that you're suppose to do those self exams also - I never do them, always think "oh I'll be fine" - the doctor always scolds me when I go for my check up, always says "it's only a minute in the shower every day to do a quick check."

You really do never know what a day will bring!
