gan to see all the beauty around me in a wholly new way. The smallest things that I neglected before started to catch my eyes. I noticed how colorful and serene4 a sunset could be when you took time to enjoy it. Blades of grass cascading5 along hillsides looked a brighter shade of green. A small child’ s laughter became an instant remedy for a bad day.
Miraculously, I woke up from surgery grateful to be alive and well. Words cannot describe the happiness I felt at that special moment—to be given a second chance. My recovery was a long process as I learned to walk again and so simple tasks. I remember when I went home and studied my bald head for the first time. It shouldn’t have surprised me, but it did! Ironically, a month before I knew I had a tumor, I cut my long hair short and donated6 it to the American Cancer Society. I discovered there is a huge difference between short and bald！
Life can sure throw a good curve ball when you least expect it. Yet I have had this new start, and I am enjoying every minute of it. I used to hear people say you should dream the unimaginable, and I always preferred to plan instead. Now, dre***ng big and following my heart’s desire without knowing how it will end up is the only thing I have time to do.
