~ Day 24 ~ Perspective

“We can complain because rose bushes have thorns, or rejoice because thorn bushes have roses.” ― Abraham Lincoln......I can't tell you why I feel the latter about having cancer. About life, really, in general. I have had enough bad things happen in my life that any one of them could have destroyed my spirit. I simply don't believe I was put on this Earth to suffer. I've failed, I try again. I've been abandoned, yet I trust again. I've been hurt in love but I still love with my full heart. I can't see what's around the next corner but I have faith to continue to walk the path. We can waist so much time waiting until our perspective on a situation is just perfect and miss the beauty right in front of us, or we can open our heart to love and the rose on the thorn bush. Don't wait until you are faced with life or death to finally change your perspective on what really matters. Rejoice in the blessings and love you are surrounded by.
