I have learned to survive and now I am learning to live. The skills for survival are much like those for battle. Cancer is a formidable enemy and it took all of my strength and resolve to fight off the beast. But, for now, I am free of the disease and it is time to live. Living, real living, not just breathing in and out, requires complete surrender. Living means accepting each day for whatever it brings, the joy and sorrow, pleasure and pain. Life is sometimes a scary ride, but I am learning to open my eyes and experience every up and down on this roller coaster.
