Why I chose my blog name-

I have a very young friend named Kyle who told me about HIS world- a place of positivity, love, peace and happiness. He is an inspiration to me as he always sees the best in everything life throws your way. I am going to face this challenge like Kyle would-with positive thoughts and lots of laughter! Please join me in my world, on my journey to conquer this disease. As my "sisters" and I used to sing at the top of our lungs- I Will Survive!!!

The Little Moments

     Now that I been clean for over a year, most of my days are easy. Despite aches and pains, (it's not easy getting old), and some occasional fears, living my life is a treat! It's a gift to be cherished and I most definitely try NOT to take it for granted.  I could not have made it to this point without the love and support from my family AND my friends.
     My sorority sisters are amazing women. They continuously sent me prayers, love and support from far away. They were there for me every step of the way. The sisterly bond is amazing and I will cherish it forever! So, when my dear friend's son was getting married, I was more than happy to be there for her and share in her joy.  I was even more excited to celebrate with her and some of my dearest "sisters"!
     Although the wedding was beautiful and the reception a blast, the moments that touched my heart the most were the little ones.  Singing the AXO sweetheart song to the groom, having coffee and breakfast in our pj's, toasting a mom in heaven with her favorite champagne, and just laughing and talking and enjoying each others company. It was a weekend of laughter and love.  My heart gets full just writing about it.
     When it was time for me to get out of the car at the airport, I hugged my dear, sweet friend goodbye and started to cry. Not because I didn't want to go home. I just felt so lucky to have been able to create and share new memories with my "old" friends and full of joy and hope that there will so many more "new" memories to come.  I felt so blessed!!!
     It was like a gift and I felt so fortunate and privileged to be able to unwrap it- one smile, one hug, one laugh, one dance at time.

    My dearest Fran, you are an inspiration! Yes, the joy of celebrating my son's wedding was wonderful. He has a great start to the new chapter of his life.

    For me, the most precious gift of the weekend was to be able to hug you, laugh with you, and share with you. To have my Sorority sisters there by my side, to travel to be there for me is a gift I will always cherish.

    The time went oh so quickly. My heart is so full knowing that the love we all have for each other is ever lasting. I told MJ I felt silly crying with joy after I saw you standing in the hotel...he understood...sharing that hug and smile was a long time coming! Always...xoxo
