This evening I sit here and thank God that I don't easily give into what others may have done when it comes to my little dog Lily. You see GME is typically seen as a death sentence whether now or somewhere in the next 6-12 months. But like many of you know I have found a nuerologist in Boston who is going to manage Lily's case and has had many full remissions and cures after 12 months. I must remember that she may not be one of those but I am learning from her that there is hope.
So I ask myself tonight what have I learned or am I learning from this experience? Because I believe not matter how big or small we have something to learn from every trial in our lives. This little 5 lb dog has wagged her tail through this whole ordeal, when she couldn't move any other part of her body she would wag her tell to let you know she had not given up. WOW!! a small animal that doesn't even understand what is happening does not give up.
I find that very interesting considering people who do understand what is happening to them or others in different circumstances often settle for what is happening or in many cases give up...throw there hands in the air and say "I can't", or "this is my excuse". I know there are many people who have Lily's will and heart to not let things get them down but on the other hand there are alot that do.
Even with our nation and our current economic crisis...we here on the news all the time how bad it is and all the negative but do we ever hear or see the positive? The things that are happening to stablize? Or the people who are learning from this experience and the quality of life that will be better due to the lessons they will learn from over indulgence?
Lily teaches me a lot, how to love unconditionally, how to forgive, how to never give up. She is special, she loves everyone, there is never a person that comes through the door that she does not want to meet and love on, she cares not what color their skin, how they look, their religion, their politics or if they even like her, she accepts them no matter what.
What a better world we would have if we could all love, accept and give of ourselves the way this little girl does.
I think I have alot more lessons from Lily.
