Embrace Life & Let it Shine

Yesterday, after finishing my treatment I stood and immediately thought of my sister who has MS and hasn’t walked for several years.  This morning I woke feeling my mother’s arms wrapped tightly around me as we sat in her rocker by the wall heater and I could hear her voice as she read, “I cried when I had no shoes till I saw a man without feet”.  Hard for a little boy to understand, but as a man Mark Nipo’s words remind me, “Life is not fair, but unending in its capacity to change us…..we are not responsible for all that befalls us, only for how we receive it and how we hold each other up along the way”.  Stop complaining, embrace life and let it shine!
