You are reading from the book:

Our Best Days by Sally Coleman & Nancy Hull-Mast

This article was titled: Ugly, Ugly, Ugly!

For too many days I care to remember, I always said these words to myself. What I didn't know was that as I healed from the inside out, that my reality changed, and as much as I didn't like some of the outside appearances, they were always subject to change; but the biggest change and the greatest beauty has been the gifts that I have received from within.
One day I was walking to the doctors, and I passed two mentally challenged people sitting on a park bench. One said to the other, "Remember one day at a time!" I told my cousin, "I found this new concept! You just live one day at a time!" and she said, "Doesn't everybody do that?"

One day last fall I came limping into my building, very much into the, "Oh, Woe is Me" Syndrome, " and a woman was sitting in the lobby. Her first day out of her apartment since she had her foot amputated. She died as a result of that operations just after Christmas.

I must remember to be grateful, I have a leg to swell. I have a program to live, and I too have special people in my life who love me, even when I have those fat and ugly days.

Written in 2004.
