Embracing Each New Day

I lived in a lonely and melancholy manner The coldness in my soul resembled a winter's night. I begged for the grim reaper to take me he didn't respond to my sincere invitation. Waking up each day was such a drag, I wanted my life to be over as soon as possible. Inside of my heart was a deep hollowness. I was skin and bones that was ready to die. I was lingering at death's door until an angel came and spoke life to me. Giving me a reason live, my angel caused me to see the world differently. Awakening me from sleep, I was in a coma-like state of mind. With my new set of eyes, I welcome and embrace the life I'm given each day. 02/21/2022 Contest: F Forms Sponsor: Constance 2. Life

A very simple formula; to change one's life simply change one's attitude . . . .

From a 'death in life' existence, you sprang up to embrace life like a lover. The story of this transformation is so inspiring Alexis!
