Venting so bear with me....I would almost think the stars have aligned against me the last month, except its not just me thats having a rough time. Its been downhill from Thanksgiving, culminating in Faiths MS diagnosis. It seems every time I look at FB, a friend of mine has lost a family member or close friend, someone was diagnosed with cancer, leukemia, MS, or had a horrendous car accident. Everyone is sick with one virus or another, the flu has turned into an epidemic this year. I get overwhelmed by the sheer magnitude of events. I want to cry. I want to crawl into bed for a few weeks and hide. Right on the heels of that thought comes the next, Theres no time for that shit! You never give up. You fight. Its not in me to lay down the fight. Its not in me to wallow in self-pity for any length of time. I just need to find my direction, my focus. I see friends & friends of friends asking for prayers for my daughter; strangers offering their time to send up those prayers. I see the requests for prayers for those I will most likely never know. I take the time to send up a heart-felt prayer for them, light a candle. I look around and realize, its not about me. Its about those I love, those I care about. That gives me the strength to be strong, to persevere, to hope, to dream, to laugh, to look at life and say, Yeah? Bring it on! Im stronger than you think.
