Today I am thankful for...Life and all that comes with it. I am thankful for all the trials and hurdles that help us grow. Besides people think its about what you went through its not..its about growing through the experience and what you will give due to it. So I am thankful today for everything in the process to make it to this point.

Now get out there all of you and make it the best day possible.

Hugs and Prayers always Hope

Everyone is unique and different. If we are like other people,

then we are not expressing our own specialness."

I am thankful for being Empowered.
I suppose thats for many things and in many areas of life.
It brings to mind something that could help others.

Years ago the word cancer was always linked with the word victim or sufferer.
Old stigmas..Hate them.
People with cancer may have been thought of as powerless. Maybe even had the feeling they could do nothing to help, themselves once cancer struck.

So think about this and the power of words.
Think about the following statements, and then notice how one makes us feel.

I am a cancer victim.
Umm no...ick Depressing
I am a cancer patient.
Pause. Yah I am but I am a human being then a patient second.
Now think about this.
I am a cancer survivor.
Give it a few minutes to sink in.
Survivor!
Survivor discribes some one in control a person who has choices.
Survivor means you not powerless. It also reminds me that I do a whole heck of a lot to maintain the type of life I want and the quality of it.

If you define yourself as a survivor that also comes with avolcating for yourself. That to is a wonderful thing.

So it seems such a small thing but words discribe who we are. It makes a huge difference how others see us, how we see ourselves, and how we act .
Empowering ...of course it is.
Having control and choices is what its about as a survivor.

I keep thinking no one wants cancer in there life. I can promise you this its been enlightening , given me a new perspective , and at times it take away every barrier out there and makes life remarkably refreshing.

Its really weird. and I am sure some won't understand this. Cancer does have its privileges its hard to say that to those stuck as the victim. But when you switch to the survivor and being positive. Things do change for the better.

So I am very thankful for feeling empowered today.

Day #2

Day One.
What do I have to be thankful for?
Ever think about making a list?
So this is day one. Of what I am grateful for.
Here is my list for today.
Being Alive!
For my Faith.
For my Husband, Kids and Grandbaby!
To be able to walk and get around.
To be able to wake up daily and understand in debt how lucky I am.

Okay notice its not about things that I am talking about.

I'm sending out a challenge to those who read. Its pretty easy.
Maybe not a challenge but someone gifted me something today.
Thats was a saying about gratitude and its worth.
I think being grateful is a state of mind. The state of being thankful and appreciative of those around us and what they bring to us in life.
I do believe we can use it, to create joy and possibly well being as well as giving us more prosperity which we all want in our lives.
So the challenge is to find things in life that make you happy along the journey.
I gave you 5 things. Tomorrow I will give one thing that makes me grateful daily.
I think we all have things that make us grateful daily...Whats Yours?
