Life gifts, chances, opportunities, breaks, typically will
not arrive gift wrapped with a bow and a gift card explaining exactly what they
are and how they will change lives. It
has taken me some time to realize after 5 years of doctors telling me no, that
I have been given the gift of a choice, the choice to say "yes" or "no". My immediate gut feeling, was no. I had heard it so many times before and learned how to take "no" with grace (kind of) and
acceptance. I know how to do “NO”."Yes" is foreign, yes is scary, Yes is full of risk and pain. But me saying yes, is the only possible way I have to build the new.
I am saying yes….yes... to open heart surgery, yes.... to the gift, the chance, the opportunity to hold onto to my life and build new!
