7. Yes, yes, yes to your poem and to the above comments. Recently someone sent me this quote: “And there were a thousand things I did not choose,

   that came to me suddenly

   and they transformed my life.

   Good and bad things I didn’t look for,

   paths I lost along,

   a life that I didn’t expect.

   And I chose, at least, how to live it.

   I choose dreams to decorate it,

   the hope to hold it,

   the courage to face it. “

   -Rudyard Kipling
