It's official, One year cancer free.  The last year has had its challenges and lots of things have happened.  I want to post a poem I wrote that tells how I feel about life now.

I Survive

by Mickey Willard

I am here.

I survive.

I want to LIVE life.

I will not dwell in the past.

I look forward to every new day.

Each experience has become fresh.

Each touch, sweeter.

Each moment I am alive, a blessing.

I acknowledge my mortality,

I do not wallow in it.

I rejoice in my family.

Their love, my strength.

I delight in my friends.

Their support, my foundation.

I am grateful to my God.

His blessing, my life.

I am so grateful this site was here to let me vent all of my frustrations on.  A wonderful outlet for raw emotions.  I have never been much of a journal keeper, but this really helped me through a really rough time in my life.
