Inspired

Second Post!
This week so far has been great! I'm feeling really good, pain- little, mood- pretty good :D, optimism- class! The sun has also been gorge and hope it stays. I ordered some stuff off Amazon today: second half of Gossip Girl season 2 ( yes, I'm that far behind..), LiveStrong- inspiring stories from cancer survivors book and Lance Armstrong's book. Cant wait to get them. Today Doria and I went to town to do some errands, went to Penny's - got a skirt and top, and went to the park for sunshine, swings and icecream:)

Btw, I think it's about time I mentioned my 2 fabulous cousins Nina and Doria at this stage in the blog:P (They'll be expecting the recognition anyways haha) Well what to say? They're aMAZING, seriously. Don't want to fill their heads now but they have been so good to me and take my mind off me being sick, everything, when they arrive :) So much fun to be around and are closer than sisters would ever be, they treat me like there is no difference in our ages at all! Love them to bits and cant thank them enough for putting up with me and the epilogue of my life the past 3 years :) One big Thank You xx

So I've got 3 causes bracelets - from Sarah and Karen (thanks guys); gold for childhood cancer, white for bone cancer, and now the LiveStrong yellow bracelet for cancer :) And this week I feel really inspired, super positive and like I can do anything. I'm so positive when I look down at the yellow LiveStrong wristband ( attached to me now), its like the STRONG gives me a boost of strength. A few things have inspired me this week and I said I need to put these in my posts for sure.

At Barretstown I picked up a book Chicken Soup for the Teenage Soul and it's a book of short stories. One of the stories I came across was about this legend Glenn Cunningham:) He was from Kansas and was in a gasoline explosion at his school when he was 8 in which his 10 year old brother died, and he was left with severe burns on his legs. Doctors told his parents they would have to amputate his legs but his parents pleaded to give their son 1 more day to heal. They said this for 2 months and put off the amputation. When his bandages were taken off, his leg injuries were terrible and things didn't look good, but he didn't have the amputation. He and his parents helped him recover at home and keep positive. He dragged himself around the fence at his home every day until he could walk, and eventually run. He became a great athlete and even won Olympic medals in the 1930's. He is known as one of the greatest athletes of the last century. He has totally inspired me, a child told he would never walk again and he was determined and became an amazing runner :)

Typical. Ive got writers block now :S Ive been waiting all day to write the blog and now I'm sitting with my hands on the keyboard waiting :) I'll post again, next time as soon as something pops into my head.

Make it happen. Love Ciara xx
