Joy In Life!

Applying oneself to experience joy each and every second of each and every day may sound like an absurdism but it’s not. Reducing the profound idea of life as just being an anachronism will make some believe that  all things truly have no order and makes no sense. I don’t believe this. There has to be order in some fashion or life would not exist. Since my diagnosis (June 29 is 2,years… Praise God!) this has been how I’ve survived without going “stark raving mad”! Well, not exactly, at first it was extremely difficult for me to even believe that I would make it past that first summer. Remember, I’ve never been diagnosed with cancer before. No one really knows what to expect unless they know someone personally going through treatment. Since all these things (treatment, medications, appointments, etc.) have honed my persona to this point, I’ve come to realize how to live life more effectively. I’m not claiming to be special in any kind of way, God has blessed me with the tools to cope. In essence all of us here are going to find out what the next stage of life is. Whether you face it or not, we are mortal and our bodies will eventually wear out. The idea of death intimidates everyone. No one is exempt from this natural fact. All I’m doing is giving my opinion, so it’s okay if you don’t agree. As I’ve written before, I’m coming from a “place of no pity”, meaning that my actions no longer have time for nonsense. When I’m blessed to wake up another day you better believe that it will not be squandered. So I ride. I eat healthy. My days have been reduced to routine. I’m not complaining mind you, but I just enjoy life now more than  ever. Now that I’m classified as 100% disabled, there’s no more 40 hours a week to break my back at! So you have a choice. Embracing your mortality will set you free. I have! Peace and blessings!
