Just Fine

This song by Mary J. Blige is my current anthem. I'm so pumped. Today marks the 1 year anniversary of mom's heart surgery (dad's fifteenth anniversary was a couple weeks ago). I thank God daily for them.

Interesting that the song is by Mary J. who has definitely faced her share of adversity. Adversity is something that each of us deals with on a regular basis, I'm sure. The key is to be able to rise above it and continue pressing on. Which is what Mom did and has always done. I've seen her, on so many occasions, dig her heels in and get through tough situations. She's never been one to be steamrolled over. I love that about her. She treated the surgery like another obstacle to overcome.

Though the surgery couldn't have been prevented (it wasn't caused by anything she did wrong, it was just a bad valve), she is doing absolutely everything RIGHT to prevent anything else from happening. She looks and feels great and has an amazing attitude. She's just fine.

I would write more, but I'm going to continue dancing around the apartment. Oh come on, you know you dance when no one is watching, too.
