PINK

I’m on my way out to an early doctor’s appointment. It’s a warmer day than we’ve had in a long time. I don’t need my winter coat, but something lighter. I go to grab my favorite springtime coat and realize it’s… pink. Like in “breast cancer awareness” pink.

I’ve always loved the color pink (in all it’s shades) but now the color has new meaning. It represents a cause and to be honest, I’m not sure how I feel about advertising myself for this cause - even though it’s a cause that now directly affects me.

I’ve started seeing advertisements for RACE FOR THE CURE or 3 DAYS FOR THE CURE and I realize I’m now part of that group that they’re looking for a cure for. Should I get involved with the movements? Should I be wearing a pink rubber bracelet? Or have a pink ribbon sticker on my car?

I don’t know. Maybe this is still too fresh for me to think about this and make any decisions. Maybe I’m in a little bit of denial. Maybe I’ll feel differently after my surgery and post treatment. Time will tell.

Btw… I went ahead and wore my pink coat. After all, it is my favorite =)
