I choose to exist:
Pain keeps me brave,
Treasuring secrets keeps me honest,
Railing against fate keeps me growing,
Spirituality keeps me grounded,
Dreams keep me wondering,
Laughter keeps me sane,
Sadness keeps me thinking,
Loss keeps me humble,
Refusing to accept my life keeps me striving,
Accepting my life keeps me alive.

Darcy, I'm honored. Sometimes inner truths beg to be told.
Maureen, thank you. I knew this would strike some chords with you, another strong woman facing chronic illness on a day-by-day basis.
Marinela, you are correct. I too deal with chronic illness and physical challenges. Rather than moan in the corner, I refer to them as my "Malady of the Month Club." Sometimes laughter can make a rotten day a good one.
Cheryl, thanks. There are times when writing about something is a kind of catharsis, and healing.
Linda, thank you!
Dorine, I don't feel terribly brave, but then there are days I know I must be...either brave or incredibly stubborn. ;-)
you have a marvelous attitude about life and your chronic illness. As you say so well, we all have a choice of attitude including the decision to show up on a daily basis. To others it may seem like courage and in some ways and at some times it does take courage. Most often, for me at least, it is more about the willingness to take the next step, feel life and accept what comes. I celebrate your life and soul. Chris
You're a light of positivity and strength and hope!
There is forever Light and Dark within the world of dualism that we live. Your Light is shining! Thanks for the inspiration.
Light, Love and Lots of Laughter along the way...
