KEEP CALM WITH ARMOR ON

© 2012 Rennasus
As part of the WEGO Health Activist Writer's Month Challenge, I'm writing a post a day for the entire month of April. We're allowed two "free" days, and I took one of mine yesterday. (I had enough challenge in the kitchen preparing Easter dinner for nine without adding to my tasks!)

Today the prompt is to write a riff on the British wartime poster, "Keep Calm and Carry On." Here's what I came up with (American spelling intentional).

Because in order to jump through the many multiple hoops
of the ever-changing,
exhausting,
frustrating,
frightening
(and downright demoralizing)
experience
that is cancer,
you must first put on your emotional armor.
Always.
