I found out the hard way that life is fleeting. Now, I enjoy and appreciate every moment of my 2nd life. I have a zest for life, a love for self as well as others, and take great pleasure in the little things that I use to take for granted. The stroke took some things from me...but it also made me realize that I am a strong and determined woman that is blessed with loving family and friends. Life is Good!
I've endured this discomfort before
and survived it,
and so I can survive it today.
I've felt these feelings before and sat with them,
and so I can sit with them today.
I've felt like giving in before and held onto hope,
