Yes.

Well, goodness.

This actually makes me feel a little emotional.

And there's tears behind my eyes for this.

And what I've learned is what I'm capable of.

And excuse me, I'm feeling emotional.

Well, bring it on.

You know what I mean? It's like, there's no meditation here.

Thank you.

Thank you for your honesty and your openness.

Thank you.

This is incredibly valuable.

Yeah.

It's, I think it's like, wow, I can't look how far I've come.

Look how much I've accomplished and yeah, my strength and what I'm capable of.

And also, um, what I've learned is that I get to choose how I operate or move forward in my life.

Like I get to make that decision.

So, you know, I talk about this during diagnosis and I'm also facing it today of, well, I can choose to, you know, not get out of bed, not get dressed, not share my story or not, live my life in the best way possible.

You know, I could choose to just stay in bed and ignore all that, or I can, or I can take steps to be like, you know what, I'm going to get out of bed today.

And then I'm going to brush my teeth and I'm going to cook up a healthy meal.

And I'm going to hop on this podcast and I'm going to have an amazing conversation and connect with new people and, And that in of itself is medicine.

Like that's super uplifting.

And it just encourages me.

It creates that momentum, right, to keep moving forward and encourages me to keep going and keep moving.

And that's the life I want.
