Spread Your Wings

I am so glad that I finally got to hear your voice, if I am not hearing all these devastating news about you being sick, you sound pretty much the same you.

Sometimes I can imagine you just staying in bed all day long, because you just can’t do anything anymore. I can also imagine you losing interest in simple things that you love doing so much, like picking up a book and start reading. I guess sometimes you just can't do anything other than sitting in a chair, blankly staring at the TV, or just sit there with endless pondering. I can imagine these tough moments.

When we talk about living life now, this will no longer mean that you will always have to be at your best, because your best is making it through every day. However, you will still be the center of attraction in any gathering you might attend, this is a given because of who you were before, and what you have become since Big C is a part of you. The check list of challenges and risks that comes with living will have its limitation now, one thing I pray that you can still do till the end will be flying.

I wish and hope that you will appreciate each day you have, be it bad or good, bright or gloomy, warm or snowy. There may be days that you will be so overwhelmed by pain, frustration and the constant nagging of “why me”, just do your best to get through the day, with hopes that tomorrow may be better.

The Lord’s treasures are plenty, even when you think your day is bad, look out your window, try to catch a rainbow after the rain, or a ray of sunlight through the trees, listen to your heart, listen to the chirping of the birds, bring back the joy of your laughter, just try anything, anything at all that can make a bad day good, that can take away the fear from you, that can make you feel like screaming out loud in thanking the Lord for another day, just another day.

After all it is your life, and who more to appreciate it but you! So when you suddenly feel bad on any day, just remember it is only you who can make the day good or otherwise.

Doing your best on any given day, and telling yourself that you will be better if tomorrow comes is a triumph by itself. Savor each moment not with sad thoughts but beautiful present, and you know what? Spread that wings of yours and keep on flying.

God Bless………………………………………..
