Good Morning America

The one thing I miss about working part time was being able to watch certain tv shows.  One that I enjoyed was Good Morning America.  Of course there are others shows too but raising a little one, I rarely watched the entire program just bits and pieces here and there.

Since we had a snow day today I had a chance to watch a mini segment.  Cody wanted to watch cartoons but I said not right now, I'd like to watch this for a bit.  I don't know exactly what the segment was about since we were talking but it had something to do with the anchors and their past.  Like if they could go back in time what words of advice would they tell their younger self that they know now.

Robin Roberts said the best.  She said a lot of stuff by what I remembered was the phrase:  When fear knocks let faith answer the door.  WOW!

I'm not an overly faithful person.  I believe in God and I believe in the power of prayers.  But I don't go to church every single weekend and I don't preach to people or try to change their beliefs.

Not one day goes by that I don't think about cancer.  All the commercials and special events bring awareness which is good but for a person who had cancer the constant reminders give me hope for a cure as well as a fear that it will return.  A constant fear that I live with daily.  And even though I had a MRI recently and even though it was cancer free, I just can't help to be scared that it will return one day.  But as Robin said, when fear knocks, let faith answer the door.  And I will try follow her words of wisdom. 

As for what would I tell the younger version of myself if I could go back in time.  I would tell her to just simply enjoy life and enjoy what you have at that moment.  Life is just so short so appreciate that you are happy, healthy and don't let the little things get you down.  I use to dwell on things when I was younger.  Like, my job wasn't good enough or I wasn't making enough money.  Now, I don't care about my job or how much I make.  All I care about is my life and living for many more years to come.
