Recently I’ve been struggling with wanting to be authentic about how I am feeling and, yet, not wanting to whine and complain about how I am feeling.    My sense is that many of us feel this way after we have had cancer.   Perhaps some years have passed and we have moved on with our lives…as have others.  So when people ask…”How are you?”…well, the response feels complicated. 

I’m not saying that I have the answer to this.  I do, however, feel like I have identified my dilema.  I want to be authentic yet I do not want to list out my ailments and concerns.    We’ll see how this evolves.
