The show must go on

Yes, life goes on but it isn't the journey you were expecting.  Your outlook on life is going to change and it hasn't turned 180 degrees - you are not going backwards - just going off on a tangent to the line you were travelling before diagnosis.  You now need to concentrate on yourself, probably much more than you do currently, and let other people look after you.  Take care of yourself.

Thank you for your comment, Lesley!

I prayed for strength…, and life gave me difficulties to make me strong

I asked for wisdom…., and life gave me problems to solve

I asked for wealth…, and life gave me a brain and muscles so I could work

I asked to be able to fly…, and life gave me obstacles so that I could overcome them

I asked for love…, and life gave me people I could help solve problems

I asked for goods…, and life gave me opportunities

I didn't get anything I asked for… But I got everything I needed!

Thank you life!
