the first two links in this mid week distraction are related to cancer. i have had several close & dear friends affected by this absolute asshole of a disease in the past few months. some have just been diagnosed, others are battling through chemo, and some have lost their loved ones to it – devastatingly, and swiftly.
my mom was diagnosed with breast cancer around this time 4 years ago. she is now thankfully in the clear, but it is a constant reminder of how there is just no rhyme and reason to life sometimes. i find that when i am struggling with something i read and listen to a lot of things related to that topic, so if you notice some possibly depressing articles popping up in the mid week distractions you’ll probably know why! i think it’s good to hear people’s stories, and keep distracting yourself. let’s do it.
