It's amazing to me how easily things can escape your attention until you are forced to see them up-close and personal. For example, it can be as simple as deciding to buy a certain kind of car. Then all of a sudden noticing them on every street and in every parking lot. I'm sure something like that has happened to you before, right? OR it can be as complicated as seeing PINK in every direction during the month of October after you are diagnosed with Breast Cancer. (Today is actually 6 months from my diagnosis. Can you believe that?)I'm not completely blind so I'm sure I had seen PINK things in prior years but it had never crossed my mind that I should stop and contemplate what it really meant. So... what does the color pink, ribbons, October and Awareness mean to me now?
It means-
* My life will never be the same!
* Life is precious!
* I am worth fighting for!
* I am not alone!
* People care about each other!
* Even in the midst of trials, you should find an excuse to Party!
Happy Breast Cancer Awareness Month!
So next time you walk past a display full of pink ribbons, clever sayings and all sorts of pink attire- pause just for a moment for those who's life's have changed forever!
