Finished the book so will take it back today after getting my picc cleaned.  Just wanted to capture a couple of things from it before I give it back.
"A survivor is a triumphant person who lives with, after or in spite of a diagnosis or traumatic event.  Survivors refuse to assume the identity of their adversity.  They are not imprisoned by the constructs of a label.  Instead, survivors use their brush with mortality as a catalyst for creating a better self.  We transform our experience in order to further evolve spiritually, emotionally, physically, and mentally.  Our reality challenges us to go deeper.
Survivors cultivate an essence that will never be victim to a word.

1.  Get real
2.  Eat smart
3.  Shake your boody
4.  Live like you mean it
5.  Educate yourself
6.  Go quietly inward yet speak up
7.  Get involved
8.  Don't sweat the small stuff
9.  Focus on healing vs. curing
10.  Plan for a long future BUT live in the moment"

OK now I can take the book back after roller blading of course... need to get out after two days laying down.  My legs don't hurt right now so I am off.
