While I know myself as a creation of God, I am also obligated to realize and remember that everyone else and everything else are also God&#039;s creation.<br /> Maya Angelou


Life often throws obstacles in our paths
Obstacles we don't understand
Obstacles that we don't deserve
Life has a way of making us stop and think
Makes us reflect on past mistakes
Gives us a new appreciation for family
Allows us to see everyday isn't granted
Each day should be a time capsule
A capsule that contains memories
Memories to be re-discovered when challenges are thrown
Obstacles shouldn't be feared but instead a reason to live each day as if its your last

The obstacles I have faced through my battle with cancer inspired this poem. Just because an obstacle is thrown at you doesn't mean you have to stop living it just means you have to live differently or in a different way.
