Living Life

Was reading Meg's Blog when the quote below hit me.

I have sometimes been wildly, despairingly, acutely, miserable, but through it all I still know quite certainly that just to be alive is grand.

Agatha Christie

It's this attitude that kept me from going through the suicide.

It was the gift of not finding the gun that I know was in the house but disappeared that day, or the knife wasn't sharp enough to make it quick enough, or my therapist called.

All of that allowed me to have enough time to listen to that voice pipe up in the back of my head.

Call it my conscious, Higher Power, God, Fate, Lady Luck or my Guardian Angel looking out for me.

In the end because life seemed to always present me with another opportunity to keep going that I'm now able to be grateful for being here today.

The following quote is from Sarah's blog, fairy tales are true, and I feel that it pretty much speaks for itself.

If I had to live my life over...I would have actual troubles and fewer imaginary ones.

Nadine Stair, age 85

The PostSecret below calls to me. It reminds me that this is where I want to be yesterday, today, and tomorrow. Yes, I am a woman who is happy with her life irregardless of how I was forced to grow up.

My past trials only made me stronger.

Huh, can go on and on with all the nice slogans and platitudes but where it all matters is in the action, you see, it's how I live my life that matters in the end.
