So I was sitting here this morning, enjoying a cloudy fall day in the mountains, trying to decide what to blog about. As you all know our theme for the month is PINK in honor of breast cancer awareness month. In an effort to waste time, I flipped through some pictures and came across the photo above. If you read the words on the shirt in the picture, it says, “Never Give Up”. This got me thinking. We live our lives every day trying to make something of ourselves. That’s just how we live life. Our life, a life we have created and a life that is our own. But what if one day you were told that your life was no longer you’re own and you have something going on inside that could take your life… and there is nothing you can do about but hope and pray? Have you thought about how that would feel, how that would hurt, and how scary that would be? As cowgirls and cowboys we have a fighting spirit a mile wide that makes us who we are but, we can learn from those brave women who have had to fight a battle that they didn’t choose. This battle happened to be breast cancer. We take pride in being strong and tough and able to handle anything but we need to understand that our strength is no match for those amazing who fought and continue to fight a battle that no one ever wants to have to fight. This month we wear PINK in honor of all of you who have fought and fight every day for life. The words “Never Give Up” will always mean a little more to me now.
