A response to a thought

In regards to any frustration in my tone yesterday, I know it was there, I take full responsibility for that. Today I wake up with pain but know why. I am anchored to this house but there are two reasons for that, one of my making and one of the medical worlds undertaking. I accept both of those. I have left a message for my Doctor and know at some point I will receive a call back. Until then I move on.

My delightful friend responded to my thread yesterday and I would like to share this....

I don't want you to have to live every day wondering if another stroke could happen. Of course, in the big picture we all live with uncertainty ... I guess it's just a matter of whether we look at that in a positive way (the adventure of life) or a negative way (fear).

Of course she is right. She has always been right and I will admit that I have many times been wrong. But it took me about 3 seconds or less to think about that and here is my thought:

Well I choose to live the adventure of life. I can continue to learn along the way. I can continue to change what needs to be changed. I can continue to grow in knowledge and awareness and as the options become available face them head on.

Last night and yesterday I was unclear. Yesterday frustration ran rampant through my head. I had finally accepted a path of change but this was not the path that has been chosen for me.

Thus I begin anew ... a new adventure. A new awareness. A new beginning.

I choose life.

Everyday we make choices and each choice involves a risk. There is no right and wrong answer sheet to life. No cheat sheet that can get us past the risks. No "uber powerful God like" mode that allows us multiple tries.

We live. We breathe. We hope for tomorrow and enjoy the moment. We celebrate right now the essence of our life and those around us. We learn. We live.

If something happens we repair what we can, we learn as much as possible and we choose to live now and enjoy all that we can.

Live well my friends, live for the moment, live for today, let your life include others and just LIVE!
