Reminder of Death

A relative of my husband died a few days ago and it reminded me how strange life really is. Death will happen to everyone, but no one really takes the time out to think about it and its implications. The relative who died was relatively young and suffered the last few years of her life due to cancer,leaving three great children and a husband. They were all her support and were very strong for her till the very end. They accepted her death saying she is now in a better place where she is not suffering. For she suffered a lot and they wanted her to be at peace.
The question we should all ask our self is, "What do we want to leave behind when we leave this space in time?" I want to leave a legacy for my children and the world. I want to have a global impact on people in a positive way. I want to be remembered as a person who preached greatness and who lived a full vibrant successful life. I want to be remembered as the mother who loved and cherished her children more then anything in this world, the wife who was devout supportive and caring, the sister who was supportive and loving, the child who was grateful, loving and appreciative and the Muslim who was dedicated, loyal and deeply thankful to God.

Extremely Agitated

I have been feeling extremely agitated lately. Especially the day I take the injection and a few days after. I'm extremely agitated and moody. I hate it. I really do feel the medication is causing my extreme mood swings, or at least adding to them. I want to discuss this with my doctor on my next visit.
