Detours

As strong as I believe that we have the ability to guide our fate through to it's proper destiny, I have come to the reality that it is God's hand that sends us on detours as a reminder of His power & plan for us. 6 years ago today He did just that, I was diagnosed with breast cancer. I don't know why it is that one's struggle leads to a long and grueling (what seems like a lifetime) battle, and another to an ultimate fate. What I do know is that so long as we fight with all our heart & soul, we are all survivors. I've learned to take time to smell the flowers, count the stars, chase a rainbow & dance in the rain. And more than anything I've learned that every breath is a moment in the past so I live that moment as if it were my last......
