Aconcagua journal entry:
Jan. 1, 2000
“On the deepest level, this has been a
changing day in my life. I learned that my body is strong, at
least for now, and so is my spirit. I am ready to speak of my
disease without feeling shame. The time has come to let go of
the pain and start living again. I have learned many things on
this climb, but mostly I learned about courage…the courage to face
your problems and move forward, one step at a time. I am
alive. I am happy. What more could I want? Not a
thing.” |
