00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:03.460
(somber piano music)

00:00:12.105 --> 00:00:15.692
- None of us ever know when
we're going to get sick

00:00:15.692 --> 00:00:19.466
and I'm a nurse, I've
never had a cigarette.

00:00:19.466 --> 00:00:21.222
I don't drink a sip of alcohol.

00:00:21.222 --> 00:00:22.927
I got this disease.

00:00:22.927 --> 00:00:24.533
What you learn is that you can't

00:00:24.533 --> 00:00:26.796
have people around you who are negative

00:00:26.796 --> 00:00:30.911
or what I have learned to
call the assassins of joy.

00:00:30.911 --> 00:00:32.846
People that take your daily joy away.

00:00:32.846 --> 00:00:34.594
It's really key and so important

00:00:34.594 --> 00:00:38.031
to have people with
positive energy in your life

00:00:38.031 --> 00:00:39.081
and to surround yourself with

00:00:39.081 --> 00:00:41.056
as many positive people as you can.

00:00:41.056 --> 00:00:43.722
There are so many
enchanting moments in life

00:00:43.722 --> 00:00:46.000
and a lot of them have
to deal with interactions

00:00:46.000 --> 00:00:48.249
between you and strangers.

00:00:48.249 --> 00:00:50.467
The bagger at the Whole Foods steps up

00:00:50.467 --> 00:00:51.802
and says, let me bag all your stuff,

00:00:51.802 --> 00:00:54.110
go to the car with you and
put it in the car for you.

00:00:54.110 --> 00:00:56.808
When you know you have a terminal disease,

00:00:56.808 --> 00:00:58.535
it makes you enjoy everything.

00:00:58.535 --> 00:01:00.782
So many of us are so
busy all day doing things

00:01:00.782 --> 00:01:04.188
we miss enchanting moments,
we rarely capture them

00:01:04.188 --> 00:01:05.551
and we rarely enjoy them.

00:01:05.551 --> 00:01:07.009
We need to be grateful and thankful

00:01:07.009 --> 00:01:08.796
for those moments and remember them

00:01:08.796 --> 00:01:11.177
and let them help propel you
through the day with joy.

00:01:11.177 --> 00:01:12.887
I think you need to choose well,

00:01:12.887 --> 00:01:14.118
who you surround yourself with,

00:01:14.118 --> 00:01:17.795
who you spend your time with,
what activities you engage in.

00:01:17.795 --> 00:01:19.709
It'd be very easy when
you're not feeling well

00:01:19.709 --> 00:01:21.862
to lay in bed for ten
hours and not do anything

00:01:21.862 --> 00:01:23.076
but watch T.V.

00:01:23.076 --> 00:01:27.190
I choose to paint, I choose
to do my art, play the piano.

00:01:27.190 --> 00:01:29.770
When I go for five or six hours of chemo,

00:01:29.770 --> 00:01:31.801
I don't go in my pajamas
and sit in the chair

00:01:31.801 --> 00:01:33.441
like I'm a victim.

00:01:33.441 --> 00:01:36.566
I bring my watercolors with
me, my quilting with me.

00:01:36.566 --> 00:01:38.994
I bring some activity, I'm extremely busy

00:01:38.994 --> 00:01:42.311
the whole entire time that
I'm getting my chemotherapy.

00:01:42.311 --> 00:01:45.293
What you need to do is you
need to enjoy every moment.

00:01:45.293 --> 00:01:47.766
You need to surround
yourself with good people.

00:01:47.766 --> 00:01:49.774
You need to live your life with enjoyment,

00:01:49.774 --> 00:01:51.777
energy, enthusiasm.

00:01:51.777 --> 00:01:54.610
You need to look around
and help people around you.

00:01:54.610 --> 00:01:56.837
Help people in your life.

00:01:56.837 --> 00:01:59.095
I want to be remembered as somebody

00:01:59.095 --> 00:02:03.276
who was enchanted by moments
all throughout the day

00:02:03.276 --> 00:02:04.613
and someone who tried

00:02:04.613 --> 00:02:07.563
to cause enchanting moments for others.

00:02:07.563 --> 00:02:09.456
I want to be remembered as somebody

00:02:09.456 --> 00:02:13.971
that brought joy into peoples
lives and who had integrity

00:02:13.971 --> 00:02:16.334
and was a good person.

00:02:16.334 --> 00:02:18.113
I want to be remembered as somebody

00:02:18.113 --> 00:02:21.030
who passionately loves her
husband and her children

00:02:21.030 --> 00:02:24.121
and her grandchildren and never acted

00:02:24.121 --> 00:02:27.337
as the victim but always
has acted as the warrior

00:02:27.337 --> 00:02:31.021
and was unafraid of anything.

00:02:31.021 --> 00:02:35.905
