Stacey Kramer: The best gift I ever survived

She is right….I faced something that was unexpected, unwanted and uncertain but when I look at it, it was more like a gift. My benign ovarian tumor on my right ovaries was a huge wake-up call for me.  Before that, I did not really value my health.  I smoked like crazy, ate unhealthy food and had very little exercise. But since this health scare, I have quit smoking for two weeks now and started eating healthy food. Lost weight and feels cleaner inside and out.  However, the cravings of nicotine is still very strong but I try to keep my mind busy. Yes, it cost me money on the surgery but if a tumor grew on my ovaries, it can happen in my lungs…So I quit.

“The next time you face something that’s unexpected, unwanted, and uncertain, consider that it just may be a gift.”

Thank your Nurse!

I would like to extend my gratitude to Dr. Elna Chia and the great nurses at Mother Seton for the care they had given me during my short stay at the hospital.  It made my hospital stay more bearable.

I never got a chance to say thank you to all of you who treated me with my emergency operation to remove an invader in my ovaries.  Thank you…thank you from the bottom of my heart.

The Sky Has No Limits

“It has no time limit. You can start whenever you want. You can change or stay the same, there are no rules to this thing. We can make the best of it or the worst of it. I hope you make the best of it. I hope you see things that startle you. I hope you feel things that you never felt before. I hope you meet people with a different point of view. I hope you live a life you’re proud of. And if you find you’re not, I hope you have the strength to start all over again.”

We will open the book. Its pages are blank. We are going to put words on them ourselves. The book is called Opportunity and its first chapter is New Year’s Day.”

Things have a way of working out!

I came across this quote earlier today. Things have a way of working out! I find this quote so true. This is all life is about.  We might plan and plan about everything in life. We think that all our plans are right for us as of this moment. However, sometimes it does not go exactly how you want it to be. When things go horrible in my life, I first think that wow, that is awful and makes me feel bad about it.  Life is not fair (“Self-Pity!” – whine, whine, whine) but truly, things happen for a reason.  When you analyzed an event in your life in the long run, you say, “hey, that is not as bad as it is.”  For the bad things that go wrong are actually good things that need time and perspective so do not sweat the small things in life as it will eventually workout on your favor or someone else.

Sometimes the most unorthodox things have a way of working out – who knows!

Do you agree with me?

Someday………..

How far you go in life depends on your being tender with the young, compassionate with the aged, sympathetic with the striving and tolerant of the weak and strong. Because someday in your life you will have been all of these.  Brainy Quote
