From the Ashes



I can't believe it. I really can't believe it. What the heck just happened? Was that some horrendous nightmare I just had?! I am finally free! I have made it! I made it through the storm! I am so happy. I am BEYOND happy! I return to work the day after tomorrow, Thursday, September 23rd. Now it's back to beautiful life like I have never known it before. I used to get angry and be miserable at trivial things. But now every time I remember how close I came to being disabled and/or dead....a big smile of relief comes onto my face....and I THANK GOD! I am so humbled. I have a whole new perspective on life...just how precious it is. Life is a gift. I am lucky to be alive to be able to experience the good and the bad in life. I should be so lucky to be able to be alive to have problems like the car breaking down, or not being able to pay the bills. There is ALWAYS a reason to live. ALWAYS. LIFE IS A GIFT. I couldn't of made it through without support. So thank you all for your loving support. I am so excited to get back to life.

GOD = LOVE.............LOVE = GOD

WELL THAT'S MY MENINGIOMA STORY AND I'M STICKING TO IT.
THE END - EXIT STAGE LEFT

  2. Maria,

    So wonderful to hear! And, the new-found perspective. Now, I just have to say this -- take it easy when you go back to work! Ok, that was the naggy part of this response.

    You are the Phoenix and a force to be reckoned with!

  5. I'm an ARNP doing some reading online and randomly happened on your blog. I read from almost the beginning and am perfectly pleased to find that just as I read this you have had your first day back at work. Excellent! Thank you for sharing your life and your trial. It is a perfect summit that you reached "God is Love" Amen! Amen! Amen! I praise God for you.
