I’ve always been one to live in the past. Most of my life I have dwelled on the friends I’ve made and lost, the relationships that I’ve made and lost, the decisions I’ve made and then wished I hadn’t or the choices I could have made but didn’t.
Four years ago I received a diagnosis that would change how chose to live. I’m not going to say I don’t think about the past here and there, but I try my best to focus on the now in the present and what is to come.
Last week I got to experience Vancouver and Whistler, Canada and the beauty it possesses. The mountains, the trees, the water and the structures that surrounded me were just breath taking. Each morning I got to wake up with my husband and daughter to beautiful views, I got to see a place I’ve never seen and I got to spend time with my daughter who was seeing the sights through beginners eyes. Many times we need to try to remember to live our life through these eyes as though it was our first time seeing.
In honor of all who are celebrating their birthday this week - mine is the 21st- cheers to you all and remember that every day offers a fresh new beginning. Celebrate being born and being you!
