In a word, I'd tell my self to fight. If I could tell myself in that time when The Crew was hiding and I felt my life would never get better, it would be to keep fighting and hold on. People make mistakes but it wasn't intentional and I'm strong enough to get past it and heal. I'd tell myself The Crew would come back when they are ready and that it's okay to trust the treatment team... they'd be the ones to get me there. I'd tell myself recovery is possible and 10 years isn't really as long as it seems. I'd tell myself the kids and Charlie would be okay and we'd continue to grow as a family and have grandchildren to look forward to.
I'd tell myself to hang on. -
I've waited to answer this question. I'm hesitant to get all mushy... but there's no way to write this an not get all slobbery and effusive.
The person who has had the biggest impact on my life is Charlie. He's my best friend, my hero, the man who introduced me to the concept of a truly personal relationship with Jesus. He showed me how Jesus can change a life. He taught me what unconditional love is. He taught me to find laughter in the absurd and in the things people wouldn't usually laugh about. He taught me to find joy and is the reason I fought so hard to become an optimist.
He's an incredible father. He's still a huge influence on the lives of his kids and every one of his daughter's still calls him "Daddy". The card they gave him the Sunday had us both in tears.
He's going to be an incredible grandpa. Just today he was talking about his expectation that he will be the designated snuggler.
I so love that man.
He's the most gentle, loving cynic I've ever met. He's got a razor sharp wit and the biggest, loving heart I've ever known. I cannot imagine a moment of my life without him
We've had an awesome ride in our 24 years together and I look forward to, I hope, another 24 or more. I dream about a Golden Anniversary.
Yeah he's my hero.
My geek in tennis shoes.
I don't think anyone will ever compare to him. -
That's a close tie between Helen Keller and Mother Teresa.
Both did what no one really believed could be done. Both overcame incredible obstacles in their lives. They were both symbols of strength, even in their perceived or genuine weakness. They lived their convictions... made a difference... earned respect in times when women weren't much respected... questioned themselves and had the strength to answer honestly... and they are both the most truly beautiful people in the "inside where it counts" department.
Their character is something to be admired and emulated.
After scripture, their words and observations on life are the ones I most often recall when a nudge of encouragement is needed. -
I first read this question and immediately complicated it to the point of confusing myself. I immediately created a seperate set of circumstances under which certain jobs would be the ideal.
RAWR... forget complications.
The first thing that comes to mind is Parent. Already living that dream. Assuming a paying job is the goal answer, it would have to be On-Air radio broadcasting... preferably a Christian station with music which doesn't make me grind my teeth. Locally, that would be WAY-FM... not sure how realistic a return to radio would be but yeah... that would be it. A forum for communicating, listening, reaching people but not necessarily being crowded in by them... a chance to minister, share, pray and entertain in a way that wouldn't be 'performing'. Yeah... that's the one. -
Shoot me if you will but I despise American Idol. Have no use for it at all and change the channel or fast forward even for the commercials. Not a fan of RT anyway but that show just makes my teeth itch.
