Few times in my life have I found myself so at peace with the disease that challenges me every second of every day.
This Winter Slipstream 2011 proved once again to be such a moment in my life. I struggle to find words to encompass my feelings towards the friends I made and those I reconnected with. Brilliant, strong, empowering while in the same breath empathetic, patient, flexible and always good for a laugh. I found myself reflecting on intended messages that I hoped to convey in the activities I participated in and wonder if any of the ears that these messages fell on sparked a thought or feeling similar to the buzz I carry forward in me. Again I am comforted with the peaceful knowledge that many of you have experienced similar growth to me.
So I take this opportunity to write, still seeking the words that truly hold the strength of the message I pass on to you.
To my delight, I can only say that WE ARE CONNECTED and for that I am grateful!
Remember that by pushing limits we will find our comfort zone on that learning edge.
