TIS THE BIG PICTURE VIEW OF LIFE:

A prewarning - The following random words may or may not make any sense.

Composed and posted on the odd chance they do resemble any sort of clarity.

In a sentence:

Whatever You/We/I are, going through is not separate to a normal life.

More so is part and parcel of my life – ‘Big Picture -- Plain and Simple’

What is relevant is: How we/I handle and react to life’s ongoing flow.

As I sit in my 'Mad Woman' journey, contemplating unexpected twists and turns.

I now find myself on previously unexpected pathways of action and reaction.

Spending time in medical wards:

Looking at big picture from above:

Appreciating what I do have, compared to others:

Recording a journal that may or may not see the light of day:

Just maybe it could inspire others to hope, the same way others have inspired myself:

While navigating life trials we all see before us.

I find myself telling my younger me, what a good plan to sit in a Cancer ‘St Andrews’ treatment room to experience and access what can happen to us all .

To make the most of what we already have.

On a separate angle I find myself recommending friends and supporters to do the same.

They would be surprised to see the number of positives, in an otherwise sterile treatment room.

Reality

Compassion

Medical Professionalism

Comradery

Bravery

Strength

Big Picture Life Exposure

Inspiration.

Words of Prose:

While we may think of life of pro and cons.

Oft when one thinks all good times are gone.

While just living in unexpected times of strife.

No mate – tis just part and parcel of whole life.

The bigger truth be known, this is plain not so.

More so is how we react to life’s ongoing flow.

With so many others also experiencing same.

Revaluation, Readjustment, part of the game.

Place where dignity simply flows out the door.

What comes next, well no one knows for sure.

Angels smiles on friendly dials, own life on hold.

'Earth Angels' For what they give is pure gold.

"Delivering Care and Hope Untold"

FROM THE JOURNAL: 11-11-2025 - 11-11-2026

Please find snippets of the month of October 2026:

They reveal the roller coaster range of life flows.

With outside inspiration of reading others experiences.

Finish of books 'One and Two'

"The longest weekend" and "The longest Week"

We have had the longest wait for the CTScan as planned yesterday and the result, whichever way it goes will unfold to reveal the next chain of events of the unknown trail.

This will be in the next chapter of book three, as a starting point of its own journey.

1-10-2026 : START OF Book Three: “THE TRAIL EXPOSED”

A new month overriding thought:

Funeral notice of my era – Breast Cancer – 70 yo – Unexpected.

School mate sudden departure to the other side

My eulogy of two years ago farewelling a close friend.

Thought Conclusion:

Don’t overthink my own situation as it is happening all around.

A life passing situation that is unavoidable.

“Milk while I am up here in as good a health as I am”

On re reading contents of this diary, there is constant reference to the turning around upwards of progress, only for the next entry to be turned down again.

Defining truth is:

“All progress is progress – however small”

“She has her own pace not to be trifled with”

A couple of stolen quotes from Neale Daniher.

“Perfectionism is a form of Protectionism”

Protecting one against failure or humiliation.

My version is this concept is:

“One never does anything if they wait for all their ducks to be lined up”

All the while - My own have never done so yet !!!!

Opportunities don’t linger, they come quickly and leave just as fast.

“You know what you could do—what you have to do.

Or in my version words: If you don’t risk it –you wont get the biscuit.

A worthwhile exercise, an IMAGINE – Own list of ‘blessings’

•             Very little pain from cancer Mad Woman

•             Great home and medical teams about me

•             Great progressive results so far from scans, each getting better.

•             A local community of concern and support with well wishes.

•             I am a survivor number at the same time as others have succumbed 

So a local party with so much community support was quite overwhelming.

Some Prose:

“The power of community you can’t overstate.

A connection to past still treated as mate.

Many tracks from home town have dispersed.

To Australia all over from where they were first.

As father time settles same dust over us all.

Doing circle work party mode as we all recall.

Recalling the memories of vibes to and from.

Some are given, some received, all remain strong”

A boost to recovery of not the pill kind – such an equal one would be challenged to find.

Where inspiration flows like the wind to and fro – from sources that continue to flow.

From a mind space so busy beyond my now physical zone – is so powerful and real as it tracks my life trajectory forward.

Mnn so the long weekend is done.

Complete with stress in immediate family each with their own individual issues.

And here I sit still above it all in my denial space, seeing the big picture BIG.

Me asks the question ? – How can I help the situation ?

Best option I reckon is to be as healthy as I am able so I and my situation to be:

Not the reason of those around me to have to worry about.

A Final Thought Pattern: -  This coming week is a ‘Biggen’

A reveal of what the CT Scan is going to tell us about the future path.

A morning waking to steady rain on the roof a sure sign of a good morning.

A summary of the way this journey has always run.—Not a plane just trending up or down.

Much more reality – Still a roller coaster ride unchanged.

MUST KEEP FAITH IN THE PROCESS—

FOR TOMORROW IS ANOTHER DAY.

TOMORROW HAS COME WITH RESOLVE FOR ME TO SHAPE THE DAY WHILE KEEPING THE NECESSARY FOCUS OF SITTING DOWN.

MY TASK IS TO ‘KEEP A LOW PROFILE TO KEEP AN EVEN KHEEL.

The  newest era, we have a new ‘Title’  inner meaning.

‘The Trail Revealed” --- “Ts the Mad Woman on the Dark Horse”

So much more in this unknown charter..

NEW CONCEPT FROM OUTSIDE READING: Neale Daniher thoughts:

As he writes about fighting MND [which he calls The Beast]

Quotes that have similarity to my cancer journey outlook and reactions.

Cancer/MND  “It takes people – Far Too Many – Far Too Soon”

Fighting the disease – Takes an army of people.

Fundraisers.

Supporters.

Researchers.

Volunteers.

Carers. 

Not just about Money – More about Hope.

One is never alone – Others are with you.

In the end the lesson is not about disease, it is about LIFE.

Taking people to make meaning and that is why I/Neale and many to come one day together, we will slap this [Mad Woman/ Beast down]

The big question is: Is now the time to change horse mid-stress

In a Sentence:

What we/I are, going through is not separate to my normal life.

More so is part and parcel of my life – ‘Big Picture -- Plain and Simple’

What is relevant is: How we/I handle and react to life’s ongoing flow.

Looking back, I wrote on 23-9-2026.

There is NO Standing still time to be had in fighting this mad woman.

The mad woman does not stop if we stop on our side.

So the next steps of new treatment effects both short and long term.

For this phase will always be part of the future path we tread.

There will be no turning back the clock.

“The Biggen just got Bigger”

“This whole thing is slipping out of my control”

Another day – No treatment.

Now three in a row of not attacking the mad woman.

With added ‘Distraction and Disruption’ to main aim of attacking the mad woman.

Until the new flow of positives start their fly in the upward trend again to inspire.

MAIN MESSAGE TO SELF:

THIS IS BIG PICTURE - LOWER THE TEMP OF SUPPOSITION -

JUST GET ON WITH IT. 

31-10-2026 ‘Official End of the Tenth Month 2026’

OCTOBER IS GONE FOR 2026 - START OF NOVEMBER TO COME.
