I can't begin to tell you how excited I was about starting my new job today! Which is great news since I've been without work for some months now. There is no doubt that this is going to be the best job I've ever had. And not only that, but I hired myself. Funny thing is, I didn't even have to interview. It was like I was just chosen. My new title? President and CEO of MexicanArmstrong.org. How cool, huh? The hours are great, I work when I can. For the current moment, I'll put in an productive 4-hour day. Right now I am the only employee. But as I watch the nurse mix up some "cocktails", (chemo drugs) I quickly realize that everyone is my co-worker. She hooks the bags of medicine to the top of my poll. I look up and break the gaze my eyes have on the LCD screen. A peaceful yet happy smile emerges from my face. I now know I am going to be a stellar new hire.
Meanwhile, I sit in this chair, barely noticing that I have something called a "portal" implanted in my chest. Some of the strongest chemicals known to kill a man, just enough to eradicate his cancer, but keep him alive are being poured into my chest. But, sitting there I realize that I am blessed with a true entrepreneurial spirit. I am now someone who is willing to take upon himself a brave new venture and a sprawling enterprise, and I fully accept responsibility for the outcome. There is no doubt that my new company is going to be a success.
I've got so much excitement about the future of my new organization. I wake up every morning for work and I thank God for this cancer and my new job. There has never been a doubt in my mind that this is my blessing. I am truly thankful for being the miracle that is Mexican Armstrong.
