it's been a while....i've had some major life-changes going on in my life. because of this, i've been trying to just survive, to make it through one of the most the difficult times i have had to endure. this has left me thinking and pondering a lot about life. i've come to the conclusion, no matter the ups or downs we experience, what a wonderful experience is this escapade we call life!
people ask me quite often how i do it...how i get through life with a smile on my face and a mostly positive attitude. (if this is your first time reading my blog, i was in a car accident at the age of 16 which left me paralyzed and in a wheelchair.) i would usually say, "i don't know! i just live my life!" to me, the things i accomplish are just the normalities of life: raising three children, running a household, volunteering, church obligations and what ever adventures come my way i try to do to the best of my abilities. so when people would ask me how i accomplish "life", the question would take me back a bit.
i know realize what it is that drives me to "do it"...to be able to overcome the difficult moments, the hardships, the trials that come my way. to be able to enjoy the beautiful, peaceful moments or the fun and exciting parts of my journey...
hope.
hope gets me through those moments i feel like i can't go on. hope that tomorrow will be better. hope that the pain i'm enduring won't last forever. hope that through the pain i will become better. stronger. hope that i can make it through challenges and they won't break me...they won't destroy me.
so today i'm full of hope. hope that i am becoming the person i need to be: one full of love, patience, kindness, empathy, and strength. hope that eventually, i will become.
