Well after reading my friend Clare's blog I realized that I started this blog over a year ago and then never posted. Maybe I didn't have anything to say. Maybe I just figured that no one else would care what I had to say. Or maybe I just got distracted with my daily life. Either way, I feel as if today I have something to say. I now have only 5 treatments left of a 24 week treatment program for a (hopefully) curable disease that I have. It has been a long and strange journey but I have learned a lot about myself and what I am made of. I have not shared with many people what I am going through. I am not looking for sympathy . I just want to tell other people who journey through this strange labyrinth called life that whatever curve balls you are thrown, whatever pie in the face experiences that you are have, revel in yourself and love the fact that you are strong, you are resilient, and you are loved by many. Some of whom you are not even aware of. We are all survivors. Period. No one gets of of here alive, but it's what you do with the time that you do have that is important. Make it matter. Even if it only matters to you.
