Fight- Five Min. Friday

This New Year I definitely did not want to start off feeling so negative as the title makes me feel.  But fight is not all bad.  In fact when I see this I immediately think of my friend Miranda Chaney.  She is fighting like a girl.  She has fought hard all year.  She has been battling breast cancer.  She deserves the trophy for most amazingly beautiful gracious and courageous person I know.  I think so much about myself that it can be hard to write about others especially those who were just childhood friends, but, dear God, I am going to try this year to be less self centered.  I read her blog posts, I posted her updates, I prayed for her, yet I kept feeling I was just trying to get attention through her in some weird twisted way.  So as this New Year has begun and I have things slowly being checked off my to-do list let me make a goal- less about me, more about others.  Fight like a girl!

This was a thoughtful post,Larissa. I enjoyed it. Yet I had the same concern as you--starting the New Year on a negative note with the word, Fight. You made it positive while I fell into the opposite track with the focus on fighters in a ring.

Blessings on your New Year,

I struggled too with how to keep fight uplifting. With friends battling cancer - they are truly fighting, in a good way. Thank you for showing me a good fight.
