Still Learning to Relax

This round of chemotherapy was not as rough as the last. I knew what to do with the side effects before they got out of hand, so I didn't feel as sick. I was mostly sleeping through the last week and a half. I went to work in between naps and dealt with family issues here and there. I noticed my hormones are out of wack and I get really upset very quickly. The doctor warned the medicines would send me into early Menopause. So, I'm learning to try to calm my heart and my head before I act out. I apologize if I snap at you or cry about something that normally I can handle without tears.
Someone gave me a nice fridge magnet that says, "PEACE: It doesn't mean to be in a place where there is no noise, trouble, or hard work. It means to be in the midst of those things and still be calm in your heart." I try to read that every morning.
