I had the extreme pleasure this weekend of having a short conversation
with a former Marine. This man, of 81 years, had that twinkle of life
in his eyes, and a heart that matched his smile. He told me, near the end
of the conversation, that he was diagnosed with lung cancer. While asking a few more questions, he informed me that he wasn't going to seek
treatment. Of course I asked him why not. As he was turning away to
walk off, he smiled that smile of contentment and peace and said, "I'm
good".
I don't think I'll ever forget that moment, that peace he was
radiating, or his grace. I was truly blessed to have that encounter.
No
matter what your situation, I hope that today, you can find peace in
the storm, smile at someone and let them know you're good.
