Great Inspiration for me

My husband is actually the person that inspires me to do more. You see, he went through chemotherapy and radiation in the last year and yet he was able to work through it all when there are a lot of people that take a leave of absense from their jobs. It is seeing him do that which has inspired me to try to do what I'm able to do to help our family out even more than I've been doing. You see, I've been a stay at home mother for our children for the last five years.

my aunt is 75 yrs old and had heart attack in her 50's. quit smoking and has been a waitress since she was 14yrs old she still goes to waitress 5hrs, 4 days a week! and sometimes takes on a shift if someone dont show up. i cant even stand up and walk very long without sitting down for a while because of dizziness and exhaution with my arthritis. but is is getting better to breath since i quit smoking

I agree there are many people older then me who can out walk me. Its amazing to see how healthy some people are at an older age. I'm a senior citizen, so when I'm saying older you know we mean 80's and 90's.

Wow, actually the only person I have to found to be an inspiration in my life is probably my mom and my grandmother. To me they are probably the two strongest persons I know. Not even my dad is as strong as them. I don't mean physically alone that also includes emotionally and spritually. My mom has been the biggest inspiration, she has been through some tough times and has always managed to get not only herself out of it, but me when I was younger. Somedays I saw the anger, sadness and fraustration in her face, when I was young I didn't comprehend it but now that I am in her shoes, with two beautiful kids of my own and I know exactly what she went through. Luckily for me I have my husband that loves and supports me in every way possible, but for her was different she was alone with me and it was tuff. She was and still is my #1 inspiration.

Wow daeckardt, what an inspiration...I go to the gym ever now and then...because of my back injury its really hard for me to walk for too long...and all I do is the threadmill and the stationary bikes... I got a lot of inspiration when I was going through the chemo..B/4 I had the cancer I had never even given it a thought about how rapid cancer was...But once going to the facility for treatment it was truly an inspiration to see ssssoooooo many women and men coming there with the will to live and, continued to work and carry on...I never got to the stage where I didn't want to live but I sure as hell didn't have the energy to go back to work...But thats when I was informed about the different types of chemo..some treatments were much more intense than others...some was what I called a harder treatment.... But after being there amongst those other patients old and young I was surely inspired to get through the treatment and come out on the winning end....Right now 'I AM WINNING"....
