Nothing good will ever come to one who is closed to possible happiness. I can sense in your writing that you are totally open to the possibility of happiness and I am convinced that you will receive what you desire in time. My money is on you.

    Thanks, my friend. Your kind words of encouragement mean a lot to me.
    I've learned that happiness is a choice.
    I choose happiness every time I feel it coming on.
    Have a great evening.

    Thank you, Kay, for your encouraging review. If I inspire others I am happy to do so. I choose happiness with freedom from saddened memories every time.
    But will grieve as long as is needed.
    Thanks for your kind words.

Thanks for sharing the story and notes, Jesse. You did a good job reflecting on the potential you are seeing about life, friendships, health, and more. I see a renewed spirit in your words, as well as a new sense of confidence. You have been through a lot, and it is nice to see the transformation. I think a lot of things are like that in life. It seems to take the challenges and set backs to get us to see what we have to be thankful about.

I like the section about flavors and how it shows your inner spirit so things will get better. I also agree with this statement: "Yet everything worth having is worth working hard for." You did a really good job with this.

You have such a fantastic attitude that I have no doubt you will accomplish what you want. it is great to recognize those who have supported you through tough times, too.

I have to share something funny with you, though your post wasn't meant to be humorous. This line:

As I awake to hear a nightbird's song bringing in a spectacular dawn

We have this idiot Mockingbird that sits outside of our bedroom window and all night long it goes through its repertoire of calls, as it copies everything else. So recently it picked up a new sound to copy: that of the UPS truck backing into my driveway. I recognized it right away. Beep beep beep, over and over and over again, as we are trying to sleep! My nightbird is not bringing us a spectacular dawn but a sleepless night!

Anyway, thanks so much for sharing your invigorating view on life!
Julie

You do have a lot to look forward to. Don't let yourself backslide when so much is possible, although it will take a lot of effort. God bless you with a heart and mind that are ready to take on the future.

Goodness, Jesse, it sounds like you have found a way to stay positive throughout all your physical traumas which usually lead to mental stress.

Stay strong! Mentality is key to healing. The motorized wheelchair sounds like a blessing!

Hi Jesse, I enjoyed reading your poem. It is so positive and uplifting. I feel grateful for surviving the many trials in my life too. I like where you said true freedom comes from within. How true that is. Very well written. Great job.

Your writing here is like poetic/ prose. You have a delicious use of words that brings forth a feeling of positivity and newness. It is great to read about looking forward to the future and all the good things that await you. Being able to be more social is a healthy activity that is good for all of us. Your story is important for everyone to read.
