Marie (Mya)'s Story
I JUST RAN MY 1ST 1/2 MARATHON SUN. 2/15/09 THAT WOULD BE 13.2 MILES PEOPLE, YAY FOR ME!!! I HAVE A SON(JORDAN)WHO JUST MOVED OUT AT AGE 19 IN NOV. 08 ... BOOHOO!!! I HAVE A 37 YR. OLD DAUGHTER (NICOLE) I HAVE 6 GRANDCHILDREN & I GREATGRANDSON 1 YR. OLD AIDEN!!! I JUST WENT BACK TO SCHOOL LAST YR. TO GET MY NURSING DEGREE AFTER WORKING IN THE HOSPITAL & IN HEALTH CARE FOR 30 PLUS YRS. EACH AND EVERY DAY PRESENTS ITSELF WITH NEW ADVENTURES & CHALLENGES AND I BELIEVE I STAND AT LIFE'S DOOR EACH & EVERYDAY AND MAKES the CHOICE of WHICH ONE TO WALK THROUGH. I TRY TO LOVE AND EMBRACE WHATEVER I'M SUPPOSED TO BE DOING.I TRY TO GLEAN & LEARN FROM EVERYONE THAT I MAY ENCOUNTER EACH DAY. I NEVER WANT TO STAGNATE, OR STAY THE SAME OR LIVE IN THE PAST. THAT'S WHY IT'S CALLED THE PAST RIGHT? IT'S GONE NOW & WE ONLY HAVE RIGHT NOW, THIS MINUTE. I BELIEVE THAT WE ALWAYS NEED TO BE GROWING & LEARNING NEW THINGS AND WE NEED TO STIMULATE OUR BRAINS, THAT WAY MAYBE WE WON'T END UP WITH ALZHEIMER'S LIKE SO MANY OF OUR PARENTS,(MY DAD INCLUDED)! BESIDES, I LIKE MEETING NEW PEOPLE, AND LEARNING NEW THINGS ABOUT THEM OR THEIR CULTURE ETC.AND I GET A CHANCE TO DO THAT EVERY DAY AT THE HOSPITAL WHERE I WORK AND IN THE CITY OF PALM SPRINGS WHERE I NOW LIVE. EVERY DAY THAT I LIVE IN THIS BEAUTIFUL CITY I FEEL LIKE I'M ON VACATION....REALLY!!! I ALSO BELIEVE THAT IF MY DAD, WERE ALIVE, WOULD BE PROUD OF ME & WHO I HAVE BECOME & AM BECOMING. I HAVE ALWAYS TRIED TO PUT MY FAMILY FIRST & I HAVE ALWAYS TRIED TO MAKE SURE THAT THEY WERE SQUARED AWAY & NOW IT'S MY TURN. I WORKED AT KAISER PERMANENTE RIVERSIDE HOSPITAL FOR 23 YRS. THEN MOVED TO PALM SPRINGS WHERE I WORK AT DESERT REGIONAL HOSPITAL IN THE PHYSICAL THERAPY DEPT. AND AM ALSO CURRENTLY GOING TO SCHOOL AT NIGHT TO PERSUE MY R.N.! EVERY DAY I GET TO SEE PEOPLE AND HELP PATIENTS WHO CAN NO LONGER MOVE OR GROOVE ANYMORE & HAVE ENJOY TO THE FULLEST THEIR PREVIOUS LIFE STYLE ANYMORE., OR THEY ARE UNABLE TO MOVE THEIR LIMBS ANYMORE DUE TO STROKES, HEAD INJURIES, VARIOUS ACCIDENTS,OR TRAUMAS LIKE WE CAN. SO IT'S A ...Expand for more
SHEAR JOY AND A BLESSING TO GO OUT THERE AND BE ABLE TO PLAY A PART IN HELPING THEM TO RECOVER. IT'S ALSO MADE ME REALIZE THAT BEING ABLE TO ENJOY OUR LIVES TO THE FULLEST AND TO BE ABLE TO GO PLACES AND DO THINGS IS PRETTY DARN AWESOME. IT'S KINDA LIKE MY DAD USED TO TELL ME , (but I didn't appreciate his words back then)!!! "IT'S A GREAT BIG BEAUTIFUL WORLD OUT THERE , AND YOU NEED TO GET OUT THERE & EMBRACE IT AND ENJOY IT AND BE AN ACTIVE PARTICIPATE IN IT !!! HE'D ALSO SAY (here comes the catholic guilt part, and don't lie, you know you got handed the guilt trips too)!.. HE'D SAY... "MYA, IT'S A SIN NOT TO BE PART OF THIS LIFE & TO TRY TO MAKE SOME KIND OF A DIFFERENCE IN THIS WORLD"!!! (mini quotes from ...BEN POLASKY my daddy)!!! SO THAT'S A LITTLE OF WHAT I TRY LIVE BY AND DO EACH DAY OF MY LIFE, (good words to live by ) I JUST THANK GOD FOR ALL OUR BLESSINGS & THAT WE HAVE BEEN SO BLESSED TO MAKE IT THIS FAR , DYSFUNCTIONAL FAMILIES AND ALL!!!!(you know who you are ,me included)! WE'RE ALL 55,56,57,58 Now!!! WHOA DUDE!!! CAN YOU EVEN BELIEVE IT??? THAT WE'RE EVEN ALIVE AND WELL and DOING SO WELL IS EVEN MORE OF A MIRACLE AFTER ALL WE'VE LIVED THROUGH!, IT'S SO SAD TO THINK THAT SO MANY OF OUR FRIENDS AND CLASSMATES ARE NOT WITH US ANYMORE. THEY NEVER GOT TO SHARE IN SO MANY OF LIFE'S EXPERIENCES & THE MANY BLESSINGS WE'VE BEEN SO PRIVELEDGED PARTAKE OF. IT SEEMS LIKE NOT SO MANY YRS. AGO I WAS PLAYING DODGE BALL& BASEBALL WITH RICHARD ALDAMA& BARRY ANDERSON,DEBBIE CULBERTSON, PAMELA HARDY & SO MANY OTHERS IN SCHOOL. TEACHERS WE HAD WERE...MRS. KALANI IN 3RD GRADE & MR. WALSTON IN 4TH & MR.MEREDITH IN 5TH AND MR. OTTERMAN IN 6TH AT OLEANDER ELEMENATRY. WHERE DID THE TIME GO? I LOVE & MISS YOU ALL AND WISH YOU ALL LIFE'S BEST AND LET'S KEEP IN TOUCH & TALK & E-MAIL AND NEVER LET TIME OR CIRCUMSTANCES GET IN THE WAY OF OUR FRIENDSHIPS AS THEY'RE VERY PRECIOUS!!! MANY BLESSINGS TO YOU ALL AND LOT'S OF LOVIES TO EACH & EVERYONE OF YOU. YOU ROCK, & YOU JUST KEEP ROCKING ON!!! WHOO-HOO AND YAY FOR US!!!...LOT'S OF LOVE...~~~MYA
