today i am six.


it's amazing what a new life, a farm, a bunch of livestock including 10 baby chickens will do for your health and wellbeing. today i celebrated my 6 year cancerversary! 6 years ago today, i heard the words that no one wants to hear, "you have cancer." and now, here i am living the life of my dreams. building a small farm, playing music, taking photographs, and being happily married to a truly incredible man. the crazy part about it all is that i totally forgot today was my cancerversary. i was just celebrating life because that's what i do. i spent the day working on the house, the barn, feeding my animals, and playing in the snow. this evening, my husband and i sat down to a romantic indian dinner just because. just because that's what i get to do. i choose to do. and i am privileged to do.

it wasn't until i sat down just now and read my email from my sisters that i realized the true meaning of today. i want to thank them for the reminder.

Congratulations, young lady.

I'm happy that you told the Old Man "I ain't ready."

Now I've gained a friend, my husband's gained a sister, and many animals in Belgrade have a doting mother...and wife. :)

love kate

p.s. I happened upon the Collaborateur website...heh heh heh...Ah the laughs it gave me. Hey man, I loved Chris and Cosey as much as the next girl back in the day.
