Think of today, what you did. Now think of years down the road. Think of the things you did that you will be glad that you did today. Daydreamed, laughed, exercised, said I love you more often, spent more time with family, paused to praise, spent less money, gave something without expecting a return, lifted another person up, thought good thoughts, listened, spoke kindly, and most of all relaxed. Each day you should do something to make someone feel better if you know you did it or not. Maybe it could be as simple as smiling at someone. You never know what one person sees as something great and you see as something simple. You never know who's watching you. You could be someone's idol and you would never know it. Life is full of good things that you can give and receive. You make a difference in somebody's life. Everyone is important in their own way. Everyone has a quality that someone else doesn't. There is no other person that is like you. You are yourself and you're the best person to play that part. You may change someone's life by just being you. You're great no matter what.- Amy Mareck

Each day is a happy day for me. I wake up in the morning choosing to be happy. It doesn't matter what happens during the day, I choose to be happy no matter what, to do the best I can. It's a decision I make every morning when I wake up. I have a choice, spend the day being sad and counting the difficulty I have with the parts of my body that don't work, one leg, or I can be thankful for the ones that do work. Each day is a gift, and as long as I am happy and "healthy" I focus on the new day that comes my way and all the memories I've stored away. You can choose to be who you are and how you act and present yourself. You can choose your attitude, your ways you look at life, and what moments you want to remember forever. Well I choose to live, fight, and be happy. I choose to be the person I am. I wouldn't have it any other way.- Amy Mareck

"It is easier to take your first step when someone is holding your hand." Remember that the next time when someone is taking their first step towards something. Maybe you will be there right with them holding their hand, taking the first step. If I could be there when someone needed me to hold their hand, I would be their in a flash. So whenever you need someone to hold your hand, think of me and I will be there!”- Amy Mareck

I never say impossible. I will achieve it somehow, like beating cancer. Some people say my condition is impossible to cure, seeing how long it's been and how many times it has come back, but I don't see it as impossible. I see it as a challenge in life that I need to face with pride, character, willingness, determination and attitude. It's a bumpy road but I will make it to smooth surfaces, someday, not today and not tomorrow, but someday. I will wait until that time comes to the best of my ability to keep a smile on my face.- Amy Mareck
