As J.Diva has become more about my life during and after cancer treatment, and the effect all that has had on my well-being and lifestyle and views, I have been contemplating a way to encapsulate my new-found feelings on life. The most obvious shorthand answer is this simply: LIVE.
All that I have suffered has been so I can just continue to live. And now that I am still alive, there remains the obstacle of truly living. People have been so kind and gracious to me as I have struggled for meaning in my difficulties, and tried to tackle the things I cannot change.
During my tired and quiet days, I spent much time contemplating my past and future. Much has changed, but I think I have always been me, and fearing death has only made me want to live a life more true to that original me.
So this is the philosophy I have chosen to highlight going into my future-- to live life in a way that has meaning, exemplifies grace, and honors courage:
LIVE BRAVELY
LIVE GRACIOUSLY
LIVE MEANINGFULLY
"Go Linny Go!"
