Happy 14!
Fourteen years ago today I completed my final radiation
treatment after a whirlwind 9 months of lumps, surgeries, lost hope, chemo and
finally healing. Yes it was many years ago but at this time of year it seems
like yesterday.
That is not a bad thing as each Christmas Eve I get a wonderful
reminder of how incredibly blessed I am. This is true really for anyone
breathing today. If you are alive you have a chance to make today and tomorrow
even better. You can forget the past and move forward in hope of a better
future.
There are a lot of crazy things going on in the world today
and it can get so easy to be discouraged. I do not understand the whys behind
sadness and tragedy. I think if you spend too much time on it the only result
is to become bleak and bitter. Who really wants to live that way?
I am taking a new look this year as I move into my 15th
year. I chose not wonder about the why but instead take the special moments and
just be thankful I am here and still have a chance to be alive.
I thank the Lord for every new day. May we all be worthy of
whatever lot in life we have been given and do our best to live in a way that truly
honors Him.
Merry Christmas
