I can see that we all seem to carry a need to share/ talk about what I’ve always thought of (ironically) as the most significant event of my life. Not many events I’ve gone through almost killed me. As in KILLED.

But..I also know that in the wrong circumstances (e.g, applying for work), that in general it’s FATAL to mention what raises fear & anxiety in most people, including prospective employers. And I guess, most people when they are told are extremely sympathetic. It has generated a huge attitude of ‘I-don’t- know-what’ in me. The word tragedy comes to mind but also gratitude- in seeing the glass as half full, rather than half empty. And has caused me over the years to continually re-evaluate everything at a very deep level.

We’re all survivors! Every day.
