Thoughts #23 - I Believe (link-up)

 

Megan and Amanda are hosting a link-up, and I'm joining in...

1. I believe ... I can fly (no, I really don't...and I know that's a terrible joke, but I couldn't help it; it was stuck in my mind, and I had to get it out).
2. I believe ... that my friend who had brain surgery less than a week ago is a total badass! 
3. I believe ... that my other friend who is battling cancer is another total badass (her husband's support is pretty amazing too)!
   
4. I believe ... that both of these women are touching more lives than they can even imagine with their fighting spirits, strength, and courage.
5. I believe ... in faith.
6. I believe ... we all have struggles and challenges, and no one's battle is any less important than another's.  Respect each others' struggles.  Help one another however you can.
   
7. I believe ... I've had darker days than most people realize.
8. I believe ... that my cat Astro's head butts can always bring a smile to my face (and to think there was a time that I didn't like cats).
   
9. I believe ... everyone should embark on the experience of a dream vacation, a holiday to beat all holidays, to go to a place where you've always wanted to go, at least once in a lifetime (or lots in a lifetime).
