Smile :) Its not so bad.

I happened to come across this video, and whilst watching it I couldnt help but smile and feel heartache at the same time. Cancer is not a disease I wish even upon my worst enemy. Its a dreaded disease the eats and takes no prioners - after losing my uncle - Uncle Denis Msimanga to the disease and seeing it eat at his body - I vowed to take care of my health and respect the disease- after all I come from  a blood line of cancer - sad but true.

This video brightened up my evening shift, and I realised things are really not that bad as they seem - most people are dull and depressed before under-going surgery; this lady on the other hand handled it with so much grace and positivity. One could learn a thing or two from her :)

I salute people who always make the best out of sad or straneous situations.

Love.pray.laugh

Watch.

"Facing a double mastectomy with grace takes courage. Facing one with courage and joy is extraordinary.

But that’s exactly what Deborah Cohan did yesterday right before she went into surgery to have her breasts removed. Cohan, an Ob/Gyn and mom of two, held a dance party with her medical team in the operating room of Mt. Zion Hospital in San Francisco.

This inspiring 6-minute-long video, posted on YouTube, shows Cohan busting some serious moves as she wiggles and twerks to Beyonce’s hit “Get Me Bodied.” Cohan requested that friends and family make videos of themselves dancing to Bey too so that she could watch them during her recovery. “I have visions of a healing video montage,” she wrote. “Nothing brings me greater joy than catalyzing others to dance, move, be in their bodies. Are you with me people?”

They were. You can check out videos of Deborah’s fans shaking their booties in solidarity on her CaringBridge page.

Deborah, we wish you a speedy recovery. And can we go clubbing with you when you’re all better?"
