The Symbol of Life



If wearing different styles and colours represent the person I am. Then bring it on.

I wear for comfort, with a little style thrown in. If clothes make the man or woman in this case, then, I am set for life. I am a self taught junkie, not of fashion (sorry sis), but of life.

Life is the most powerful representation I can offer. I see the glass as half full and yet I am not scared if it is, half empty.

A few days ago, my life took a very different turn.

To those, and you know who you are, that helped direct me where I needed to go, thank you.

I drove myself to emergency. Within 5 minutes, I was hooked up and plugged into every machine you can possible imagine. I was x rayed and dye tested and it was confirmed. I had multiple clots in both lungs. Pulmonary embolism.

The specialist told me, I was lucky to be alive. He said that if I had not gotten to hospital that day, I would not of seen the night out. Reality, that's what I am talking about !!

My heart was under enormous pressure, trying to pump my blood through to blocked veins and arteries. My heart was stressed. But, it was pumping it's little heart out, to try and keep me alive.

I am home now, emotional, but alive. Happy, that I have seen the inside of death and aware that I am not ready to go there, just yet.

So, I am not going anywhere.
I have a book to write.
And, yes, that scares the shit out of me too.

For me, it was not about the what ifs, and why me, but, the what's next, attitude. My spirit's I kept good, as always I saw my life glass as half full.

The symbol of life, dressed before me.
