51. Stepping into 2025

Stepping into 2025, with my high heels on! Yes, despite the lows & highs, am still able to stand taller in my high heels. My legs felt royal.

How a dress, a heel, a smile & red lipstick can hide the fact I was operated in September with a 3-months’ down-time!

2024 had its own share of “everything that happens” when you don’t want it or don’t expect it. You came in waves to unsettle me. Some hurt, some made me wonder, some made me question humanity, some made me want to give up & pretend everything will go away.

I cried when needed to, felt the pain when it touched me, laughed when wonderful people still tolerated me, but always remembering not to step onto the stones that surrounded the blackhole. No expectations, I have said at the beginning of the year, which laid the foundation. Sometimes I wonder which is worse - the actual Cancer or people who make a mockery of your condition?

The biggest event, if I may call it an event, was the operation that I went through, not knowing how heavy it will turn out to be. I survived. Down time was too long but when I look back, it meant resting more. I jumped back, back to my normal irritating ninja. My closest strength of support has always been my princess Natasha.

No resolutions this year either. I’ll embrace every day as it comes. And I’m going to keep the following text at my table:

”Your Time On Earth is limited.

Don’t Try To Age Gracefully.

Age With Mischief, Audacity,

And A Good Story To Tell”

So it’s high heels to dance through…whatever awaits me!

Thank you 2024, making it possible to stand tall. As I thank 2024, I thank you all for being in my life, wherever you are 💖

Hugs to all 🤗

P.s. Sometimes I wish Christmas was not too close to New Year but then I must move to another planet where no human exist! Two celebrations, two roller coaster of emotions, enough to derail anyone!

I heard the Whispers of “2024”….“you’ did good”
