I'm having a hard time today and this post goes out to my daughter. She's had the most horrible luck with a medical condition since pretty much the day she was born. Surgery after surgery after surgery, and yet she still manages to stay upbeat and plugs on...most of the time.

Most people have no idea what it's like to go day to day walking and working and doing whatever. You just do what you do and you don't give much thought as to how you get there. Imagine that suddenly you find yourself completely immobile and you can't even do the most basic tasks like fixing something to eat, or showering, or even worse-going to the bathroom without asking for help. This is her day right now. Oh it will get better, and we hope it will stay that way. But for now, it's frustrating for her and it upsets me as well because I'm too far away to be helpful to her. She's been through it before more times than I can remember, but I suffer right along with her from here and I hate it.

So, I just wanted to say-be grateful for your health and don't take the everyday for granted. Hopefully you won't ever find yourself in this position, but if you do, I hope you can be as brave as she is. Her strength is something to behold and I'm proud of her for it.

I was thinking about life today and wondering where my direction is heading. The one thought that I had was that eventually we all reach that point where your life flashes before your eyes. I want to make sure that mine will be worth watching. Is yours?

Much love to you Jess, hang in there. Great things are ahead for you, it all happens in due time.
