dear GOD,
thank you for allowing me to live the life that I strive everyday to improve and make better. these blogs often times allow me time to reflect and dwell on feelings that sometimes I keep bottled up inside. I met a man today, a man who has cancer. I guess I should start at the beginning of the story before I get to that part. on Monday typically I volunteer for four hours at a hospital working as a patient visitor. apart of the job is going around and talking, visiting with patients who sometimes don't really get visitors. you just never really know who you're going to meet once you walk into a room, but today I met a man and he has cancer. we talked for a little while about him and how he lived his life and how in all of his 70 plus years he only had 3 jobs and how he didn't know what life was until the cancer came along. as I sat in his room talking with him, he just wanted to make sure that I was living my best life and was living it to the fullest.
we never know when our time may come or the hour in which we will be called to leave this place, but as the man and I spoke, my eyes started to fill up with water because if that man, sitting on a bed with cancer in his body was so full of life then I know I could be too. I enjoy going to that hospital every Monday morning and I love talking with people, every now and then you met a man like a met today.
i plan to continue giving of myself to those who sometimes just need someone to sit and listen to them as they talk and i surely plan to live my best life and to the fullest, because if JERRY could do it then I know I could do it too.
until next time,
peaceWORLD
