My Clarence

I'm so happy I'm alive. And cancer was my Clarence. I just watched some bits and pieces of "It's a Wonderful Life". Like George, this year filled me with reminders that I'm glad I'm alive. I am so happy to have touched the lives of the people around me and I'm so grateful for the moments where others have really touched me. Of course, the real important moments and things that people have done for me have little to do with material things or with impressions. It's when real people have showed real emotion. That's what I'm grateful for. There have certainly been a number of angels along the way. Those people that said the perfect thing or contacted me at the perfect time to help me see the way, stay on the path.

But, now I want to simply live. Live in the spirit that has made me love life.

Quiet and calm. Simply be.
