"I'm still standing better than I ever did Looking like a true survivor, feeling like a little kid " - Elton John The words of Elton John's "I'm still standing" is flowing through my head. It's Sunday and I'm on the track circling the stadium. A blanket of wood anemones is covering the forest floor. My heart rate rises, and my thighs tighten as I push the pace. There's a healthy burn in my chest, and it feels great! The only thing running down my cheeks today are raindrops. Today I am happy and strong. Not because I have miraculously recovered, but because all the bad, sad and painful things have made me stronger, more robust!
But this post is not for me. This post is for you. To whomever is in that same dark and painful place and are feeling really upset right now. Who feels that life has taken a turn for the worse and that the weight of the diagnosis is about to break you. It gets better! The dark moments will be fewer and further apart and you will come out stronger on the other side. I promise you, do not give up! If anyone can handle this, it's you!
