Theme this day is "to be alone" and for that I wanted to use this picture taken at Sunnaas while visiting Sussi.
Sunnaas is a rehabilitation center, and Sussi is a beloved friend who was in a terrible car accident in June. She's now working her way slowly back, learning how to walk again and just healing. Visiting her was a very strong, very good experience.
How easy it is to take life for granted, to complain and have expectations. To not appreciate every single day and every moment, not make the most of it. I for one want to use my days more wisely - to spend them blessing others, do good, make an impact, mean something, make a difference. In the end, it's all about the way we respond to our challenges every day, to differenet situations - how do I take it? Do I take it as an opportunity to grow into a better person? I should.
The picture above illustrates how she's all alone in this situation. It is her body going through this, her choice to try and see the good in it, her life ahead filled with challenges. Alone, but after all - together with everyone loving her, praying for her and believing in her. She's is such an example. I love you, Sussi. :)
