Self Image and the Ostomate
One is never too young to have the ability to cope with life, especially when her life presents challenges well-beyond her years. Jessie, in the interest of full disclosure, is my darling granddaughter. She is soon to be 14 years old, and has had to tackle more than many three times her age have had to do.
One thing we all have in common during the holidays is the rush of time! How can they be upon us so soon, and didn’t the New Year just begin? Since there is no way to slow down the passage of days, weeks and months, my wish is for everyone looking back to see our health struggles lessening, and our road to well-being looking brighter and easier to traverse! Give Thanks for what we have, and help others to do the same.
I treasure the story of how I met my darling husband! We were not much older than children…I was at the precipice of becoming a young lady, just weeks before my 15th birthday, while Bruce had just turned 16. We met at a youth organization dance, and he walked across the room to ask me to dance. Later, he would confess he had never approached a girl he didn’t know to dance. When I returned home that night, so many years ago, I told my mother, Lillian, about him.
