Grateful

I am ever grateful!
Foremost for the Father.
A close second by my Momma.
And then, a warm and fuzzy appreciation to those that:
angered me;
told me no;
dared me;
said I couldn't;
said I wouldn't;
belittled me;
demeaned me;
ignored me;
scared me;
scarred me;
dismissed me;
and overlooked me.
You made me:
wiser;
stronger;
bolder;
braver;
determined;
persistent;
tenacious;
gritty;
faithful;
ambitious;
focused;
and resolute.
Thank You!
You choose . . . victim or victor!
Be grateful for what you face.
