Congratulations, we've made it through the first 30 days of the new year, and have almost completed the 1st month of the new year. That's something to cheer about! You're rolling your eyes...I can see you through the web cam on your computer... (that IS a lie).
Pick today to be the day you choose to be excited about something. It may be that you choose to find cheer in seeing the same cars on your way to work today ("excellent, they lived to see another day"), or cheer to try the new non-dairy creamer flavor at work (rebel!), or cheer because you have something coming up this weekend to look forward to (Go Broncos!). Pick something to be excited about!
Yes, you're going to see the same cars, and yes the coffee may taste the same today as it has every day, and yes, you'll come home to see the same mess that you left behind. So what? You get to CHOOSE to be happy about something. If you're reading this, then be happy that you've reached another day, and that you have air in your lungs.
Today, Lee and I wrap up a brief fast we do each new year. From afar, we celebrate the start of a new year with those at Free Chapel Church, in GA, by taking part in a Daniel's Fast. The purpose of the fast will differ for many, but we choose to honor our faith by respecting the power of prayer and sacrifice.
As we conclude our fast, I choose to be excited for the time I spent fasting and the amazing blessings I've immediately watched come from that, both anticipated and unexpected. Yesterday, I not only had a successful Rituxan booster infusion, but I also had multiple communications from within the MG community about growth. Lots of great stuff ramping up, and I am BLESSED to be party to that revolution!
Right now, I'm excited to reintroduce myself to a pot of caffeinated coffee.
I challenge you, that regardless of the routine you feel consumes you at home, at work, in the community, alter your perceptions. You may not be able to change the routine, but you CAN choose to be happy in it.
Oh, and ...GO BRONCOS!

Smile because you can!
Life is such an amazing adventure! One day you're cruising along with certain expectations, a planned route, and plenty of gas in the tank. The next, you're not sure where you are on the map and your compass fell beind that comfy seat you were in.
Smile because you can!
About Me
- Rachel
- Austin, TX
- My name is Rachel, and I have a neuromuscular disease called Myasthenia Gravis. This crazy condition was bestowed upon me in late 2008, and has the ability to render your body weak and sometimes useless unless proper treatments are administered. I've learned so much, and I feel blessed I am able to share. I'm nervous to write, but have learned that I should. Maybe you'll take something away from my nonsense.
