Decisions, Decisions

this morning, as I tried to convince myself to get out of bed, something that is becoming increasingly difficut these days.I realized I had a decision to make, I can either face this challenge for what it is, a challenge, or I can sit around feeling sorry for myself, picturing myself as a victim, making myself and everyone around me miserable.  I think my choicee boiled down to the choice given in The Shawshank Rdemption, get busy livin' or get busy dyin'. Guess which one I choose? Igot my butt up, held Charlotte and did my exercises for the day

Partners

The last time I was seriously ill my significant other essentially abandoned me both physically and emotionall; barely visiting me while Iwas inthe hospital, not caring for me when I was home .After that experience Itold myself that whoever I ended up with would be someone who would never even think of abanfoning me whe I needed him most. luckily, My judgement was better this time my husband took the vows "for better or for worse in sickness and in health" very sweriously. Hrenever left my side fo the two and a half months Iwas inthe hospital. He Heis always ready to give me dose of tough love, and I need it now and then, he pushes me to be my best self, to be as great as he knows  m. Hebelieves in me even when Ican't muster up any faithin mself. He is truly my partner in this journey. and Iam thankful for his prescence every day.
