hope 2026

Well wouldn’t you know it… still here! And hope to still be here a year from now. I continue with this annual message of hope since that first time in 2009 when I boldly posted my daybook turned to January 3rd 2010 with the words “STILL HERE!” written on it, after having been diagnosed with Stage 4 colon cancer mid-2008 and going through three major operations and chemo and being told my chances of survival weren’t very good. But I made it to January 2009 and I hope to keep posting every January 3rd for some time to come.  Watch this space. ❤️

hope 2025

Even though I got kicked out of the Cancer Club last month (after 15 years!) I think I still want to continue this annual message of hope from that first time in 2009 when I boldly posted my daybook turned to January 3rd 2010 with the words “STILL HERE!” written on it, after having been diagnosed with Stage 4 colon cancer mid-2008 and going through three major operations, one nasty bout of chemo and being told my chances of survival weren’t very good. But I made it to January 2009 and really hoped to make it to the next. Little did I know I was about to spend most of 2009 on chemo and recovering from a recurrence. But it turned out that I was still there in January 2010! And (so far) I’m still here now and hope to be here next January 3rd too. Watch this space. ❤️

hope 2024

Yep, still here. Another year has come and gone since January 3rd 2009 when I posted a photo of my battered old daybook turned to January 3rd 2010 with the words “STILL HERE!” written on it, as part of a weekly Photo Challenge – the theme that week was Hope. I had finished a second stint of chemo a few months previously and this felt like a very bold thing to do – to hope I’d still be here on the same day a year hence.

I have continued the “tradition of hope” since then and have posted a similar photo on this date each year. Here’s hoping (as always!) that I will still be here January 3rd 2024, and will see this page in my book… and then post my hopeful wish for 2025. ❤️

hope 2023

Yep, it’s that time of year again. You may recall that way back on January 3rd 2009 I posted a photo of my battered old daybook turned to January 3rd 2010 with the words “STILL HERE!” written on it, as part of a weekly Photo Challenge I was doing at the time – the theme that week was Hope. I had finished a second stint of chemo a few months previously and this felt like a very bold thing to do – to hope I’d still be here on the same day a year hence.

I have continued the “tradition of hope” since then and have posted a similar photo on this date each year. So, as always, here’s hoping that I will still be here January 3rd 2023, and will see this page in my book… and then post my hopeful wish for 2024.

hope 2022

Wow, it’s been 12 years already! Way back on January 3rd 2009 I posted a photo of my battered old daybook turned to January 3rd 2010 with the words “STILL HERE!” written on it, as a weekly Photo Challenge I was doing at the time – the theme that week was Hope. Having just finished a second stint of chemo a few months previously this felt like a very bold – and hopeful – thing to do.

I have continued the “tradition of hope” since then and have posted a similar photo on this date each year. So, as always, here’s hoping that I will still be here January 3rd 2022, and will see this page in my book… and then post my hopeful wish for 2023.
