Celebrating Easter A Week Early

Laughing at myself just makes me happier!

So today I woke up, thought, IT’S EASTER and started to celebrate… then I realized a few hours later that Easter is actually next week.

Maybe having cancer has put me in a time warp?

What is great — it doesn’t really matter, does it?

If I end up celebrating two Sundays in a row, and feel joy and laughter (at my self) — these are all good things!

It’s good to laugh at oneself. I am sure Jesus and His friends did.

Right now, with dealing with cancer, I need more reasons to laugh and to celebrate… so, this confusion with the dates? I’ll take it.

No chocolate bunnies for me this year, though. I’m avoiding sugar while dealing with cancer. But I added some cacoa to my morning breakfast shake.

It’s the small pleasures that are the best.
