THE MAGNIFICENCE TO OVERCOME!

Often, we may say and feel that we can't do a particular thing, but the spirit to overcome is greater than that other negative little voice within. Even when we express that whisper it is always small against the magnificence of the power of the other voice that says WE, YOU, and I can overcome.

So, IT'S ALWAYS OUR CHOICE. What voice will we allow to navigate the course of this day, even our lives. 


CHOOSE TO LIVE THIS DAY. 
 
These truths/words are lived/written by a survivor of Multiple Sclerosis, dx'd in '93, and living with unknown symptoms over 20 years pre dx. That is over 50 years of my life, yet I refuse to give this disease its victory over me. This and other life maladies are not allowed to steal what I've labored for despite the obstacles, some of which when looked at with a different lens were and are gifts. 

This disease forced me into a wheelchair 15 years ago. Over 5 years ago, as I approached 60, I began to think about the things I did not do or needed to do before my journey here has ended. At least, I needed to try. One of the need to finish items was exploring how to  become an ordained minister.  Well, a few months after I was ordained, my son and his fiance asked me to officiate their wedding. Of course, I was honored to say yes. And, the icing on the cake was the wedding was in the Dominican 
 Republic. It was a magical moment. 

If you're going through something today, decide how you'll evoke change and redirect the course. Let's us allow that voice within lead us to our victories. We just have to chose to do our work, and It's not easy, especially living with this MonSter, but I claim my victories.
