Thought-Full Thursday: What’s Important

Dec 28, 2017 By Layla

“And each day, it’s up to you to yank your hand back, put it on your heart and say, “No. This is what’s important.”
– Iain Thomas

Hands on hearts, friends. Hands on hearts.

    Wow! What a great post as we look toward a new year! Love this as gauge for evaluating how my time is best spent, how my thoughts get dragged to the unimportant. Thank you!

    So so true Layla! After cancer (my case) you definitely realize that it’s the HEART that’s important. I love that you shared this. It’s a reminder for the new year to maybe pull back a little from the things that aren’t so “important”. I still find myself scrolling aimlessly on social media (mainly to keep up with trends, clothes, house decor). It’s fun and super helpful when building a house and takes me out of the serious nature of my cancer (for those reading, I’m NED-no evidence of disease but will always be stage IV because it had spread-so I receive maintenance treatments every three weeks. One thing that I’ve been sure to tell others is : Things that used to be a big deal to me aren’t anymore. Things that weren’t a big deal are huge.

      Heidi,
      I am sorry you have had cancer. I am so glad to hear you are NED. Will you have to receive treatments for the rest of your life or just for a shorter period of time? Also you didn’t mention what type cancer you had? If you still choose not to tell I understand. I said a prayer for you and wish you a Wonderful 2018!
