Reflection, Hope, & Celebration

Today is the start of Cystic Fibrosis Awarness. It is the month where Facebook turns "purple", but it's also a time where I reflect on my life, and where I am, and where my future is going. I reflect on my goals and dreams for the future. It reminds me to not take each day for granted and live it to the fullest. 
Also, it reminds me of those who have lost their battle with CF. Those who fought a tough fight. 
May is a month of reflection, but also a month of hope, and celebration. It's a month of hope because as we raise Awarness we also raise money to help find a cure, so hopefully one day there will be a cure, and it's a month of celebration because even though people have lost their battle with CF, we can also celebrate the amazing life they lived while they were here.
My hope and prayer everyday is that one day CF will stand for Cure Found, and I don't have a doubt in my mind that that day will come...and soon. 
So this month as we celebrate CF Awarness if there's one final thought I can leave everyone with is this: as CFers we know that sometimes we don't know how strong we are until being strong is the only choice we have. But we also know how to celebrate life, and life each day to the fullest, because tomorrow's never promised. 

I hope everyone has great CF walks if you haven't had yours yet. My local one is tomorrow so I will update after that.
