I have been stricken with many illnesses in my life. Too many to list and the “List” is guaranteed to grow. However, I have learned to keep the word “IF” out of my vocabulary, I can manage anything.
If I only hold my head high when people applaud me .
If I only tried when I had the strength to do it.
If I only smiled when people were kind.
If I only reached for that which was in my grasp.
If I never saw the negative in every situation.
If I only prayed when I needed God.
If I loved only those who loved me.
If I said; “can’t ” before I knew I could.
If I gave up before I ever started.
If I didn’t give more when I thought I gave my all ………
What kind of person would I be?
