How would you react to that word!?
The definition gave me two choices, I chose the second definition. Incurable Optimism!
Do I find it an easy choice!? Not at all!
It's not for show! I really and truly have to completely change my thoughts when I "hear" otherwise. I really have changed my heart to only listen to God. God tells me every day "i am wonderfully made" I am a weak and fearful human being, that chooses to challenge this disease like a warrior! It is not for "show." It is Incurable Optimism! Every bit of spunk and attitude that I was given in my life, is what I give to my fight! "We are weak but He is strong!" I don't want the attention to my disease, instead to how I fight it! If that is with a smile on my face "without fear of the future," so be it! I will not take my spirit of living and loving life and hide it, because this THING thinks it can take me with it! No way! I have Incurable Optimism!
WARNING!
Incurable optimism is contagious - - - it changes lives - - - it brings people together - - - it takes away anger, pain, and sadness - - - it may possibly be what sets you apart from others.
I have seen it bring families together, friendships renewed, and lives changed for the BETTER!
Incurable Optimism: you find it through God alone!
I have!

Very well said, Michelle! You are right on all levels. You're such a light to this world. I can't imagine anyone thinking your fighting spirit is for show. Love you!
