Door County

Door County Wisconsin - the perfect place to relax, recharge and renew.

I spent the last four days doing all of the above.  The most stressful decision was where to eat - which in Door County can be quite stressful.  White Gull for Friday's breakfast is a welcome requirement. All other meals require decisions - something I was trying to avoid during my week. 

When you are diagnosed with cancer, you are required to make decisions.  Some are easy, some are much more difficult.  Some are life saving, some are life changing . All are big.  I have noticed that since my diagnosis, I have a hard time making everyday decisions.  Oddly, it is not because I don't care, it is because I cannot choose.  I used up so many brain cells on the big decisions, there aren't many left to make the small ones.  An interesting turn of events for someone who used to like to be in control, and to offer an opinion on everything.  Cancer does this to you, it changes you, sometimes for the better.

Eventually, we figured out where to eat, and we ate very well!  The Wild Tomato restaurant has a fabulous dried cherry, walnut and goat cheese salad.  I spent time walking and being mindful.  A path splattered with prairie flowers - daisies and little orange flowers.  I skipped, I sang and I ran.  I played like a kid with nothing to do (sounds like my last post).  I hung out with two good friends and talked.  I read.  I had a marvelous time, making as few decisions as possible.
