LIFE

Life is an opportunity, benefit from it. Life is a beauty, admire it. Life is a dream, realize it. Life is a challenge, meet it. Life is a duty, complete it. Life is a game, play it. Life is a promise, fulfill it. Life is sorrow, overcome it. Life is a song, sing it. Life is a struggle, accept it. Life is a tragedy, confront it. Life is an adventure, dare it. Life is luck, make it. Life is life, fight for it!  - Mother Teresa

Life ... has recently brought me a game leg ... and the past week has been most interesting...

I fell last Thursday, and according to the specialist I saw last weekend, partially tore the quad ligament in my right thigh, resulting in a brace that will not stay put, to be worn day and night, less the 10 minutes spent in the shower.

The world has rallied, and the door revolves as people come and go ... the list grows of people wanting to do something when there is little to ask of them to do ... there is only so much garbage to go out, letters to mail, etc. This has certainly made me realize how many people are connected to me in positive ways ... are my friends!

I sit and visit as the room fills and another tea party is in progress ... or a pie party, or a luncheon [when someone asks if they can bring lunch, I say ‘only if yours comes too, and we can eat together’] .... yes ... Life.

One never knows what Life will bring, nor how what is brought will be accepted ... but it is wonderful to know that through it all God is with me and caring for me, through Life ... through Friends.
