Journal entry by Audra Shaneman —
Too long since an update.
Going through piles of stuff that accumulated during my journey, I came across pictures from Survivor Fitness at Crossfit classes. I was bald. BALD!!! I cried. Again.
I’m told these things are called triggers, as they trigger or remind us of painful or difficult times. I’m choosing to not let triggers be only negative. The women I met during that time were sincere, funny, strong and kind. I was bald. I WAS bald. Notice the past tense. By the grace of God I am sporting a headful of hair, and Olivia Colman from The Crown is my inspiration.
The journey has been long… I’m doing so well…but triggers happen. So grateful for the people who give me perspective…
When you unpack after a vacation, you live again those memories. Similar to cleaning up after cancer, but you have to choose to see them in a more positive light.
