I really liked this quote too but it didn't really fit with a cancer fight:

Most of the shadows of this life are caused by our standing in our own sunshine.  ~ Ralph Waldo Emerson

somewhere warmer

Sunshine is good for the soul!  Using its warmth to keep me from the downward spiral.

People need people, even more so when we're sick, or going through tough times. When I was diagnosed I kind of shut people out. I didn't want to bring them down too, or I didn't think they could possibly understand, or I feared running them off with my whining. What I should have done was accept their encouragement, their understanding. I felt vulnerable, like my body had failed me, ashamed. It was hard for me to let people in to help me get through it. Looking back, I should have accepted their hands, their ears, their hearts.
