Oh well, the truth hurts, doesn't it?

I’m grateful I had the strength to fight. It takes courage to believe the best is yet to come, especially when you are flat on your back and don’t know if you’re going to see tomorrow. I’m no Pollyanna, but I believe optimism is a choice — a muscle that gets stronger with use. Right foot, left foot…just keep moving.

I have never been happier or healthier than I am right now.

I am stronger than I thought I was. My favorite phrase has been 'This too shall pass.' I now understand it really well.

Dreams are vague and far away. Goals are tangible and achievable.

Life provides losses and heartbreak for all of us-but the greatest tragedy is to have the experience and miss the meaning.

I want people to know there are infinite possibilities in life to be grateful for. I love that people feel comfortable coming up to me and telling me stories about things they have gone through.
