Love with an incurable condition
Here's a story about a woman with stage 4 metastatic breast cancer and how it changed her life.
MSNBC is re-publishing this from CondeNast, the publisher behind Wired Magazine. I admire this woman's ability to talk about how being diagnosed -- being told face to face that the clock is ticking and time is running out -- filled her with a hunger for life. And a hunger for love.
I'm going to end with this quote, because it just feels relevant to how i'm feeling these days:

I'm going to end with this quote, because it just feels relevant to how i'm feeling these days:
"You can wake up pissed off or you can focus on everything you’re grateful for."Tomorrow I could die in a fiery car wreck. Or earn myself a Darwin Award (we all know how I love four wheelers and ramps). No point in stressing over System.OutOfMemory exceptions and bills that are a day late, or dinner plans undone. Sometimes just reading/hearing a quote like this, I can literally feel a mountain of stress just melt off my back, and whatever black tendrils of angst coiled around my heart relax just a little bit. So I thought I'd share.
