The World I Live In!

The beauty of this world is unparalleled! If we take the time to really look, we can find that beauty in just about everywhere we go. We, as human beings, tend to forget or not recognize the fact that we are here only temporarily. We get sidetracked and start to think that we are immortal. When this happens, life takes on a different meaning. It becomes more chaotic in the sense that we feel no worry or even plan about our exit strategies. Let’s face it, each second we live is another second closer to death. I don’t mean to be morbid, but that’s a stone cold fact! Since my life altering diagnosis, I happen to see life in a new and different way. Life is precious! Life is wonderful! Life is fun! I now know how to really live life! I enjoy my life so much now that I look and laugh at the irony of my whole situation. It actually took a diagnosis of cancer for me to start living! Wow! How weird is that? If not for my diagnosis, I would still be in that everyday, mundane bubble of monotonous living. Now I’m free! I’m happier than I’ve ever  been in my life. Life has more meaning now. My physical state is better than it’s been in years. Things that I kept putting off are being done. I feel that my life is productive now. Most important though is my faith. Jesus is my constant companion. My dearly departed mom always said “God helps those who helps themselves.” With Jesus on my side, who can be against me? I now know that my  journey is long from being finished. I have something to do now. Along the way I want to give people with similar problems strength to persevere. And I want all to realize and recognize the precious gift we have… the gift of life! Peace and blessings!
