Narrado por: Bunny Terry

If you’ve ever been ugly dumped, knocked off your feet, financially devastated, stunned by a potentially fatal diagnosis, or paralyzed by fear, you’ll find comfort and strategies for surviving and eventually thriving in this book. Bunny Terry experienced all of these and was diagnosed with stage IV colon cancer on a day when she thought she was the healthiest person in the world.

Her surprising journey through the maze of illness, treatment, surgery, and recovery, along with her stubborn daily practice of gratitude - even when she wanted to throw her gratitude journal off a cliff - will leave you laughing, crying, and hopefully feeling grateful, even when it seems impossible.

The author heard her father say daily, “If life were any better, I’d have to be two people,” even in moments when things seemed especially dire. He said it when he was losing the farm, when she was an unwed pregnant college student, when she was getting her third divorce, and even when she was diagnosed with stage IV cancer.

Putting that practice of positivity and gratitude to work when she was ill and struggling with chemo was no easy feat, but it frequently felt like the only alternative to outright despair. In unexpected, simple, and profound language, Bunny’s transparent sharing of her cancer, vulnerability, physical pain, and gratitude story will move you to tears at the same time that it gives you tools for saving your own life with a gratitude practice.
