It can bring out the best in your self, your friends, your family, and your community.
It can create perfect vision, like you never knew you could see so clearly.
It can allow you to use less deodorant, because you're no longer sweating the small stuff.
It can make realize your beauty is so much more important and everlasting on the inside, than on the outside.
It can temporarily save you from worrying about getting lice from movie theater seats - now that's got you thinking!
It can cause you to always remember to say please and thank you to everyone you meet - even if you're thanking the person who's administering the chemotherapy.
It can give you the opportunity to live two lives -the life before you had cancer, and life after you survived it.
It can make you 'love deeper and speak sweeter'.
It can teach you to laugh more, cry less, forgive more, fight less, compliment more, complain less, give more and take less.
It can let you happily realize you never were the One in control of your life to begin with.
