The context, my current life is happy. I&#8217;m not flourishing, but I am happy. To move from happiness seems odd, but not if I move toward the real potential life has. I&#8217;m a eudaimaniac, a seeker of a flourishing life. Always. And I will happily (hah) barter away happiness for flourishing.<\/p>\n<p>I believe this means I need to focus on life, its possibilities, not on cancer. Pretty much what I do anyhow, but after a visit about cancer mutations, new and expensive drugs, and metastasized cancer cells. In my body. Throws me off a bit, makes me wobble. Need to restart the gyroscope.<\/p>\n<p>The key to a flourishing life with cancer is clearance, cutting away what I don&#8217;t need. Focus on what&#8217;s important. Friends. Family. CBE. Creativity. Stories and narratives written by and\/or experienced by me. A comfortable and beautiful Hermitage. Exercise and healthier eating. Travel. Not done yet. Not at all. One drug in front of the other. That&#8217;s the way.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Yule and the Moon of the New Year Tarot question: How can I cope with cancer? The spread: 1.
