My Promise28

In honor of Japan's Livestrong 1 year anniversary I am promising to blog every day for 28 days straight. It's a healthy habit and will get me used to sharing my experience as a caregiver for my husband who is a survivor of two cancers. They say that it takes 21 days to start a new habit, I'm giving it an extra week for good measure! Here is a blurp from their event page on Facebook.

"MyPromise28 is an individual promise to yourself and others around you to take action and make a healthy change in your life for 28 days or more. You can start anytime and this can be done anywhere in the world. Examples could be starting any good habit such as walking every day or giving up a bad habit such as smoking for 28 days or more or forever! You could even start reading about health or do something more spiritual like yoga or some other form of meditation for your promise.

A goal does not necessarily have to be anything athletic. For a cancer survivor just being able to get up every morning and go back to their hobby, like painting or flower arrangement is what is most dear to them and if they can do that every other day for 28 days that is more than a success.

Other suggestions:
-brown bag your lunch to work and save the money for a donation to charity. If anyone asks why all the frugality you tell them about MP28 and LIVESTRONG
-do the dishes for your wife every day
-promise to read every night
-read a bedtime story to your kids every night"

It's bedtime, 5:30 comes way too early. Thanks for the day, God. I didn't see any improvement in my husbands nausea today, it's been 8 months since his last round of chemo and radiation. The doctor said that the effects would last longer while his weight was down. Please bring on the weight, being free of the nausea would be a huge relief for him. He endures so much without a complaint. He is so strong. I would say he definitely lives strong!
