No matter how bad things get
Always important to remember
The thing that got me here
My largest
Energy booster

That I'm a walking, breathing miracle
Nearly 29 months into recovery
Even with the thyroid setback
I keep inching forward
I've forgiven everyone
I never blamed myself

I know I have a slew of illnesses
But that won't stop me
I'm blessed with my support system
Which is international

My coping skills are vast
But I'm always up for learning more
Writing, music, singing, photography
Scuba, spirituality, laughter, fresh air
Mom, friends, exercise, doing my Ph.D.
So much more

As 2017 winds down
I'm grateful, blessed
For all that I have
All that I am

I am me
I am free
I am a warrior
