@CatPie What an inspiring post! Love & strength to you. Your mantras really hit home. I believe strongly in what you wrote. No matter how rocky your road, someone out there is doing it tougher.
Acceptance of the cards we have been dealt. Dont fuel our cancer about stressing about what we cannot change no matter how much it sucks! Deal with the here & now & the factors we do know & not about things that may happen in the future that may not even eventuate.
What a road you have ridden but one thing that resonated with me is "Paying it forward". I live by this a lot & also love the movie of the same name, if you feel like a BIG cry. My journey has been quite easy but i would like to think that the little I have learnt, I can pass on to others & give them advice, encouragement, support & love. Its the best feeling to know you have helped someone a little through all the ordeals we have experienced & the knowledge we have gained. It sort of lessens the pain we are feeling.
I wish you all the best. You are an inspiration & you are already helping others because of your post & that is a wonderful gift. love & hugs xx
