I'm Not A Victim - I Never

Part Of Resilience Is Deciding To Make Yourself Miserable Over Something That Matters, Or Deciding To Make Yourself Miserable Over Something That Doesn't Matter.

I'm Part Of A Community That Holds Each Other Up, And It's Been Great To Be Held Up Too.

But I Have Found That In The Simple Act Of Living With Hope, And In The Daily Effort To Have A Positive Impact In The World, The Days I Do Have Are Made All The More Meaningful And Precious. And For That I Am Grateful.

You All Know That I Have Been Sustained Throughout My Life By Three Saving Graces - My Family, My Friends, And A Faith In The Power Of Resilience And Hope. These Graces Have Carried Me Through Difficult Times And They Have Brought More Joy To The Good Times Than I Ever Could Have Imagined.

Sometimes You Get Politicians Who Dig Their Feet Into The Sand And Aren't Willing To Listen To Another Voice.
