Sometimes I get so used to seeing the "Choose to live with Joy" that it becomes commonplace. I painted this in the Metastatic Breast Cancer colors of teal, pink and green to remind me that my MBC diagnosis was what led me to search for a new purpose in life and that was to Choose To Live With Joy! I don't want to just pay lip service to this message, I want to live it every day.

いつだったか、

Choose to Live With Joy!
(JOYと共に生きる)

って言葉がしっくりと私の中で収まってだんだけど、

今回100日プロジェクトで書いた絵は

進行性乳ガンのシンボルカラー

青緑、ピンク、緑なんだけど

それを描いているうちに…

あれ?

私はこの病気によって

口先だけじゃなく

真摯にChoose to Live With Joy

に生きていて

それを後押ししてくれてたんだなぁ

って気づいたんたよね。
