Years of caregiving, endless stress, and well, suffering… have definitely taken their toll. I’m very fatigued, emotionally drained and have lost any semblance of a sleep cycle. In spite of these “challenges” and maybe even BECAUSE of them, I’m still quite sassy and sensational. Modest also!
I figure… why not? I’ve lived through the worst thing that could happen to me; fought back against all odds, and bent many, many, many medical professionals to my will to keep my daughter alive. There’s that saying that what doesn’t kill you makes you stronger. That’s true, but they left out the “sassy” part. In the Thesaurus, under sassy:
“lively, impudent, impertinent, playful, impish, feisty, brazen, full of fun, mischievous.”
I wouldn’t consider myself really “impish” but the other words seem to fit really well.
In many ways I feel “freer” now than I ever have. I am finding an internal resilience that I never really understood and appreciated before. I just thought, you do what you have to do and didn’t really appreciate my own self, who I am and what I’ve accomplished in life.
Hooray for Sassiness!
