My Gift from God by Marion
People think I'm crazy.....
To thank God for this gift....
They say I must be "brain dead"..
To even consider this...
But it has made me understand ......
Life ups, and yes it's downs.....
It has given me the ability...
To laugh through all the frowns....
My gift from God's a treasure...
I celebrate each day....
And live my life as best I can...
And help others, on my way.....
When God gives gifts, we do not want....
It is our challenge to..
Accept them in what form they take....
And live our lives anew...
For the time may come when I am gone...
But my friends won't need an answer....
To everyone who knew me well.....
I didn't die... but truly learned to LIVE with Cancer. ©

There once was a woman who woke up one morning, looked in the mirror, and noticed she had only three hairs on her head. 'Well,' she said, 'I think I'll braid my hair today.'
So she did and she had a wonderful day.
The next day she woke up, looked in the mirror and saw that she had only two hairs on her head. 'H-M-M,' she said, 'I think I'll part my hair down the middle today.'
So she did and she had a wonderful day.
The next day she woke up, looked in the mirror and noticed that she had only one hair on her head. 'Well,' she said, 'today I'm going to wear my hair in a pony tail.'
So she did and she had a wonderful day.
The next day she woke up, looked in the mirror and noticed that there wasn't a single hair on her head. 'YAY!' she exclaimed.
'I don't have to fix my hair today!'
Be kinder than necessary, for everyone you meet is fighting some kind of battle.
Live simply, Love generously, Care deeply, Speak kindly
Life isn't about waiting for the storm to pass...
It's about learning to dance in the rain.
“My will shall shape my future.
Whether I fail or succeed
shall be no man’s doing but my own.
I am the force;
I can clear any obstacle before me
or I can be lost in the maze.
My choice; my responsibility;
win or lose,
only I hold the key to my destiny.”
