"We Believe in life. Your life. We believe in living every minute of it with every ounce of your being. And that you must not let cancer, (or anything) take control of it. We believe in energy: channeled and fierce. We believe in focus: getting smart and living strong. Unity is strength. Knowledge is power. Attitude is everything. This is LIVESTRONG."
The above quote is from the Lance Armstrong cancer survivor group livestrong. I love this.
My family has gone through a lot this last year, even the last few years. I guess with eight kids, spouses, grandkids and a large extended family there is bound to always be something brewing.
People often ask me "how do you do it?" and I can honestly say I don't know, I don't even know what "it" is. Life? Yea, that's it life, how do I do my life, crazy, busy, mixed-up, life?
This morning when I read this it hit me, I Believe In Life!
God has put me here for a purpose and to not be in the moment, energized and ready would be a terrible shame. I don't know why things happen the way they do but I know that what happens next depends on how I respond. When I am focused, and positive it is always better.
And, In Unity There Is Strength, lots of strength. Family and friends are such an important part of that. Just this week as our most recent drama unfolded I was moaning to my daughter Kim and she reminded me, "we will get through this, we will ban together, be there for each other and we will get through this too." She is right!
Thank you to all of my friends and family for being in my life and for your support, prayers, thoughts and kind words, my life is a better place because of all of you, I am humbled by and grateful for all of your love and support.
Today is going to be a good day, Attitude is everything!
