Scott's Story

Life is a funny old dog....every day I feel grateful to be able to wake up and live life on a path with heart.. My 13 year journey through the Chemo Chronicles has taught me that no matter how bad you think something is in some way the glass is always half full. You just have to find what makes it so. My glass has been half full for the last 13 years because I have been able to meet so many different kind of people. Some of the folks that I met had terminal cancer. During our chemo time we shared our life stories.Some of those stories were tragic but most were stories of people who had lived pretty good lives. Most were people who were like me that were now facing a serious situation. The one thing that we all had in common was we all had hope and we had faith and we all were fighting very hard to stay alive. I have learned that the human body is a frail thing. However,the human spirit is relentless in it's never ending pursuit to stay alive. Talking with these people was valuable to me. By talking to them I was able to better understand what the things that matter the most in my life really are. And I now I know that there is one simple rule to follow...Be happy with what you have today and don't expect anything more fro...Expand for more
m tomorrow. From that idea springs true freedom. Freedom from fear,freedom from anxiety about tomorrow,freedom from worry about death. Life really is just that simple. I am enjoying life today because tomorrow is,well a who knows kind of thing. Sometime in the last few years I read a quote by Edward Everett Hale.That quote stuck with me and has become quite applicable to my everyday life. Mr. Hale wrote "I am only one, but I am one.I can't do everything, but I can do something. The something I ought to do, I can do. And by the grace of God, I will." And so I do just that. I have much to be grateful for. I have a great wife of 33 years.She has made me a better person in so many ways. .I have 2 sons that have grown into fine men. We managed to raise them and it turned out OK. No kids are on drugs,no one is in jail and nobody is dead. In today's world that's all good! When I think of my sons I feel proud of what they have become and where they are going with their lives. But most importantly, after 13 years of fighting leukemia I am still here, I am still here to see the sunrise and the sunset. I have a life on a path with heart. For me it doesn't get any better than that.
