Never Underestimate The Power of 'One'

Purple Ladybug (that's me) believes in the strong power of 'ONE'...one person, one smile, one hug or ? All it takes is 'ONE' thing to happen during your day to change the way you feel, it may be amazing or even heartbreaking. We face many 'ONE's each and every day, so join me as I take my future 'ONE' day at a time and write about my journey as a cancer conquerer and the 'ONE's in my daily life.

Day 377 - 'one' thing on my plate

Today I find that my blessings are numerous but one thing especially sticks in the forefront of my mind.  It's how much I admire the strength I see in others.  These are people currently who are currently dealing with not one, two but three or more challenges in their life at one time.  Here I sit with only one challenge that I devote 24/7 to and I see others that move from one challenge to another with such ease and determination.

How is that some people are given such endless trials in their life, just as one thing starts to settle another issue comes into their path.  But they meet each challenge with unaltered faith...
 and the ability to see beyond the issue they are working on.  Amazing! Amazing! Amazing!  I don't know any other words to describe the strength I see in them. 

I listen to their words and absorb all the wisdom and grace I feel like I tend to be the selfish me and want to  learn how to create such wisdom and grace within myself.   They speak with such ease with all the issues in their life and do not look at them as challenges but just a part of life. 

As I meet my own challenges on a daily basis I take comfort in knowing that I am surrounded by people that I can learn such strength, determination and wisdom from and know that I feel blessed that today my challenges are small and only one.

Thank you for sharing your trials and challenges with me and please know that you are a light at the end of the tunnel that I strive to move towards and you bring me strength with your attitude towards life and each thing you face.  Onward and upward...yep that's it, onwards and upwards!

It may be when we no longer know what to do, we have come to our real work, and that when we no longer know which way to go, we have begun our real journey.
