What if?
Why worry.
What then?
Why doubt.
What next?
Why hesitate.
Where to?
Why waver.
Should I?
I would.
Must I?
Definitely.

Ticking seconds
Marching minutes
Hurried hours
Optimistic promises
Passionate and determined
Thriving not surviving
Living in the moment
Seeking happiness and health
The ultimate gifts of contentment
Constant state of motion
Purposely moving forward
Never looking back
Page after page
Line after line
Word after word
Defeats and triumphs
Endings and beginnings
Tick tock of a clock
Lub dub of a heartbeat
Glory of a sunrise
Gentle whistle of the wind
Hush whisper of a fallen leaf
Sorrowful drip of a rain drop
Ominous boom of the thunder
Magic of a sunset
I am brave enough to weather any storm
For the promise of a rainbow
Doing the same thing
Over and over
Feeling drained
Again and again
Setbacks
Here and there
Disillusions
Far and wide
Taking steps
Backward and forward
Same routine
Up and down
Enough of that!
To pursue
To achieve
To be in charge
To regain control
As easy as
Just like that!
Some people come and go in our lives.
Others come to stay.
Some people leave a mark in our lives.
Others leave a trail.
Most people just pass through.
There are those people though,
No matter where we are in life,
Inspire us to be what we are today.
Thank you, DAD!
A little over a year ago, I received a grim cancer diagnosis from Dr H.
This particular surgeon looked far too frail and unsteady to be in a kitchen slicing tomatoes, let alone performing an intricate surgery.
I just wanted out of there.
Then I had the privilege of meeting Dr K, an oncologist with the bedside manner of a boorish oaf.
Dr K. informed me that all the prayers in the world wouldn’t be enough to save me.
He also made it clear that I could go to 100 different doctors, and they would all confirm this.
At that point, I was not fearing cancer as much as being “treated” by these two doctors.
So out the door I went, thinking of all the other possibilities that surely must exist.
After trying a little of this and some of that, I was doing fairly well.
I had taken total charge of my personal health, while doing my best to reduce the level of stress in my life, and even taking an extended time off from work.
I became my own full-time job.
It was the best job I ever had.
Reconnecting with myself.
Finally becoming Number One.
Life is not only about conquering cancer or any other illnesses, it is about conquering our fears and living life.
Making each day count.
Looking forward, not backward.
Appreciating what we have.
And simply being thankful for every new day given to us, for each day is a gift to be cherished and treasured.
Wishing everyone a joyous holiday season.
Thank you all for joining me on my journey.
