I've been sick a lot of my life but I've had some of the best experiences because of it. I can stop and appreciate the people and things that are important to me. I know when to take time for me and how to be there for a friend when needed. I know when to stop and just have a great time while being thankful for the opportunity. I'm learning to live instead of just surviving... My eyes are opening wider & most of the time it's a great thing but some times it makes me sad. I'm doing well right now though... Walking tall and standing proud as I learn who I am and that, that person deserves a life, truly lived and the happiness that comes with living in the moment. A great friend taught me: • No worries about the past–you can't change it, just learn from it & move on. • No worries about the future–what's going to happen will happen. • Just be in the present moment what you do in the now will change how you see your past and will determine what course your future takes.
