Gratitude Changes Everything

 I’ve been fighting stage 4 cancer for over five years now. In the beginning, I felt resolved and mentally willing to persevere. Recently, however, things have shifted.

It’s hard accepting that my capabilities have changed. I will never walk the same way again,

“I’m really living, but I wish I would’ve done more of this when I felt healthy and truly “up to the occasion.”

The least I can do is help other people avoid the same mistake I made: working too much instead of fully embracing each and every moment of life.”
E.C. Stilson, Two More Years

Robin Craig Clark Thanks for being a friend E.C.

I admire you living a life of compassion. Our true nature cannot be truly expressed in words. However, what we do, and more importantly, who we go about it, reveals the essence of our true self.

Best wishes,
Robin
