I’ve had three major life events in the last four years:

1. divorce
2. breast cancer
3. met the love of my life

Not necessarily in that order. In fact, the correct order is #3, #1, #2.

Each of these things changed me in several ways, but here are the highlights:

• I’m much more relaxed now. You (usually) don’t sweat the small stuff after cancer.
• I’ve learned to be truly grateful for everything/everyone I have.
• I’m happier. So much happier. It comes across in everything I do. It’s sort of old news now, but in the beginning, I had so many friends comment on how much happier and more positive I am since my divorce.
• I’ve stopped procrastinating. Life is short. The future is no place to place your better days.
