Thirty years ago I was in so much pain that I wished never to wake up. The lowest point, period.
Am I scarred? Yes.
Have I healed? I'd like to think so.
Am I grateful? Each and every day, more like every moment.
When you've been where I have, you learn not to take anything or anyone for granted. This too shall pass becomes a mantra to live by.
I get to work with tormented souls like myself, in that I'm blessed. Most don't get it and that's just the way it is. Maybe it's not their time. Another reminder of how powerless I am over any outcome.
The greatest gift, and there are so many, has been what I'd like to think of as a better understanding of the concept of faith and it's application in day to day life.
Anyway happy 58th to me!
