Woman, wife, mother, daughter, sister, friend... Just when I thought life could not get any better I heard a knock on my door, it was Cancer.
It changed everything but not for the worse. I choose Life and Hope .
BACK OFF CANCER is what I say!

Chocolate!


Many of you that know me well are familiar that often I make "promises" to give up something for a certain limited time. In Italian its called a Fioretto. It does have roots on sacrifice during Lent season but mine has not been a religious driven one.

So my latest "Fioretto" was to give up chocolate until I had my first clear scans after remission. Normally this would have been hard but not unbearable if it wasn't to the fact that I move to Switzerland. THE LAND OF CHOCOLATE! So .. I had drewelled (sp?) over the windows and supermarket aisles .. .just dreaming of having a piece of chocolate.

Well... I have INDULGED in chocky ( the way the Swiss say it!) for the past 36 hrs... I dare to say that I might even have given myself a headache from it!

So what? Life is good and even better with some chocolate in it!!!

PS: I will be giving up something else soon.. not sure what!
