I always enjoy participating in the challenges hosted by ActiveRain. I am grateful that Patricia Feager and Lew Corcoran are hosting this month's challenge, thank you both very much for doing so. There are so many people who have had a very positive influence on my life and who I am, but I think it is best to start off with my Mom.

 

My Mom is still alive, so even if this begins to sound like a eulogy, know that it is definitely not that, haha. My Mom is turning 75 soon and has definitely done more for me in life than anyone ever has and likely more than anyone ever will. Pretty much all that I am can be attributed to how she raised me and the genes that she passed onto me. The good certainly outweighs any of the bad by a large margin.

My Mom has been such an inspiration throughout my whole life because of the example she sets, rather than just the words that she speaks. One of the many examples that comes to mind is how she chose to battle cancer after being diagnosed with it over 15 years ago. Of course, it was devastating news and threw her into some sort of depression, although I wouldn't say that she was actually depressed. She took it upon herself to do research, ask a ton of questions, and attack the disease that she was stuck with. She has not taken any drugs or had to endure any chemotherapy, or any other type of treatment. She chose to battle it by changing the way she eats and the way that she lives her life and in looking back, I know that she absolutely chose the right path. It set a huge example for me with the proof to back it and that is why I have strived to eat healthier and always be asking questions about what I am putting in my body and how I am living my life. I firmly believe that because of this example, I will never have to deal with any sort of disease myself and I get to enjoy a lifestyle where I never get sick. I don't even get the common cold and I am certain that it can be attributed to the way that I eat and the way that I live my life.

I could go on and on with many more examples she has set for me, but since I am likely already at my quota for this challenge, I think I will call it good for this post, haha. I look forward to reading all of the other amazing posts that will be included in this challenge!!!

Hello Brian - the message of actions speaking louder than words resonates with me.  Each of us learns in different ways but experiencing such a positive spirit on a consistent basis has obviously had a significant impact for you.  A nicely shared story.

Thank you, Michael Jacobs I am a big fan of the actions above words and they always tell me how a person is rather than hearing what they say they are, haha.

Brian England Having met you and had the pleasure of getting to know you, I have the most profound respect for your Mom. She raised a great son whom I respect for being smart enough to love his mom as much as you do her. What a beautiful entry to the March challenge. How lucky you are never to have been sick - You do have fantastic genes :)

It's ok; some people are old at 75, I know some people who are old at 45  it is a state of mind

Tell Pat what a wonderful son she raised.  He certainly can put words to paper to share his story about his courageous Mother
