I decided I would have a try at this blogging thing, maybe it will help me, maybe it will help others. I tried to come up with a nifty name for my blog, at first I thought of calling it "I don't have time for Breast Cancer", but it didn't seem right. A friend suggested some other ideas "The Boob chronicles" or "The Boob Monologues", I liked those, but felt I needed to think of this myself. Last week my older son Kevin had to pick a book to read for the summer (yes, only a few weeks left of summer, but we still had to do it). My mother suggested "A Tale of two Cities". THAT’S IT!!!!! "A Tale of Two Titties"..........nah, my kids would laugh too much. So I thought some more, mmmmmm, the first sentence of "A Tale of Two Cities" begins with "It was the best of times, it was the worst of times…." so that’s what gave me the idea for the name of my blog.
I was going to just email some of my friends on Face book and just tell them, but since I am doing this blog, I will make this my "coming out" post. Sooooo......

Your Blog is a great idea.

Well, I think you made a good choice with your Blog title.
ReplyDeleteNow how can I top Terrain 5.
ReplyDeleteBeth, what a brave and wonderful thing to do by starting this blog, you could not have picked a better name for your blog than this, and the fact that it derived from such an old tale and one your son had to read says a lot.
Know that there are many friends and family that have conquered this battle, as I know you will too. You are a strong person at heart, more than you probably know. Look inside yourself for this strength. This will help guide you. Know that you and your family are in our prayers and we are with you every step of the way.

I have supported the Breast Cancer foundation for years and will continue to do so, this helps with finding all of these cures and treatments for such cancer.
Thanks for sharing this with others; you are an inspiration to many who are in the same boat. We love you Beth! You will beat it, I can feel it. Take Care & God Bless you and your family.
