I just read through my entire blog, from the time I was diagnosed to now. And I have to admit, I feel that I've been allowing myself to get caught up in the petty things. The small stuff, if you will. And I refuse to let that happen.

I have been given an enormous gift, and I think the worst thing would be if I forgot that. I have been given a second chance at life. I have been given a glimpse into the world that most people will never ever see. I have been blessed. And I absolutely want to use that gift.

Do you ever feel frustrated that you're not quite sure what your purpose is? I feel like I haven't figured it out. Maybe that's the point. To finally realize that we will never have life figured out.

At any rate, I will be trying harder in the upcoming days to make it count. Life is short. And I want mine to be chock full 'o good stuff.
