my VN interview

How did you get to where you are now?: I always wanted to visit South Texas (I love the arid parts of the country) and my husband had 3 job offers down here so I told him he probably should listen because someone was trying to tell him something and here we are.
How do you see yourself differently now than you did 10 years ago?: I am more content and less worried about meeting goals. Life's short and there isn't time to be anxious. I certainly didn't see myself as a survivor or especially strong.
Where do you see yourself in 10 years?: Still trugging right along and hopefully enjoying life even more.

I spent two years fighting a deadly form of Leukemia. I obviously survived and have been Leukemia free for 4 years. I am grateful, still tired, still lethargic most of the time…
