Waking up to inspiring words is nice, very nice. Since I have started to share living with a disease, you all keep sharing with me. It's great! I wake up, read e-mails and Facebook while drinking coffee. A few days go by that “you” do not share something amazing with me: poems, stories, painting, inspirational words...keep them coming, I need them.
Remarkable ~ the spirit of a servant's heart and strength of a fighter lives so strong in many of you.
This week I ran further than I ever had: 13.6 miles in 2hrs. On November 13 I will run my first half marathon. Honestly, I question my intentions....run for myself, run to inspire, run to raise money, run away from my fears, run towards a new life?
The one absolute that I have learned this year is living life with “purpose and effort” is good medicine.
“And this I share with you
For when you feel hopeless and alone
Out of the darkness
You shall surely find a guiding light
That crosses your path to lift you up
If only you have faith
And you will learn your most valuable lessons.
And I know that one day we will all learn these lessons
Because we are human with human bodies
That will ultimately fail us
The important thing is
By the Grace of God
We will have lived a life of love and friendships
And then we will know the true meaning of life
Not just recite it -
Love IS all that really matters in the end.”
