Just because I'm on 'medical' leave doesn't mean I have to act ill and stay in bed all day. I should be using this time to feel alive again, remember what it was like to be vibrant, ravishing, intoxicating, energetic, vivacious, bold and beautiful. I used to be such a woman on fire. Where did that passion go? This leave is time to rekindle myself, bring myself back to life, both mentally and physically. I am not going to let me just lie around and waste away this opportunity. If I don't do this now, I'll never get that part of me back; that me that I was once so proud of; that me that could light up the room with a smile; that presence that distinguished me, made me someone unique. This is my time, this is me, and I'm going to live it up!
