"I will not die an unlived life.
I will not live in fear
of falling or catching fire.
I choose to inhabit my days,
to allow my living to open me,
to make me less afraid,
more accessible;
to loosen my heart
until it becomes a wing,
a torch, a promise.
I choose to risk my significance,
to live so that which came to me as seed
goes to the next as blossom,
and that which came to me as blossom,
goes on as fruit."

I can't believe how wonderful life is now that I have regained my body after 6 years of Lyme Disease
Glad I could be of help M.J.!
It's not easy to do at times~ living with disease is so hard emotionally, along with life's ups & downs. (Especially one that's chronic, progressive and incurable). It's very discouraging, frustrating, maddening and scary. Sometimes it (and life in general) overwhelms a person to the point where they can't function on any level and it takes everything you have to merely exist and that's all you can do. It's so hard. Especially when you don't have anyone you can count on. When you have a supportive spouse, doctors and friends, people who believe in you, it helps tremendously. I have now been on both sides of this.
Some people do chose not to live, others cannot chose to live.
