The Quiet Exhale

When I saw Dr. Brenda Kim’s message on my colposcopy results that came in late at night, I paused and reread it twice - no pre-cancer or cancer cells. Just like that, the weight I'd been carrying these past few weeks began to lift.

It wasn't dramatic, just deeply steadying. Relief arrived softly, almost quietly, as if my body was finally saying, You can rest now.

Moments like this remind me how easy it is to overlook the quiet miracle of normal results - how often we rush through daily life without realizing the gift of things simply being okay.

There's no fanfare here, only gratitude. A quiet exhale. A reminder to care gently for this body that has been through so much and continues to hold me with strength and grace.
