I stumbled upon this article about a bride Katie Kirkpatrick (21) who endured cancer to get married to Nick Godwin. This made me think about mortality and the triumph over the inevitable. Even though Katie knew her time in this life was short she still would have to spend alot of time and energy preparing for a wedding. What I find even more sad is that it takes impending death to remind us what is important in this world before we meet our maker.

We all live in fear, we all struggle to fit in and yet we try so hard to be individuals. This dichotomy would seem bizarre to an Alien visitor. It is only our finite line that has the power to overcome all that. It puts us in our place.

Take a look at your life, are you the best that you can be? I live everyday with my metaphorical cancer, I struggle to be the best of me but I live in the knowledge I am doing something about it.
