What It Means To Be a Fighter

I have been a fighter all my life.  And, I make absolutely no apologies for being one.

So, what exactly does it mean to be a fighter?  A very good question; one which I definitely do not have any pocket answer for.

For me, a lot of times it just means getting right back up after being knocked down.  I love that Chumbawamba song from the 90's - the one that goes "I get knocked down, but I get up again..."  A friend of mine used to joke about it, in fact because she knew how much I loved it, and how closely it reflected my personality as well as my overall way of being.

I'm not sure what else being a fighter entails, exactly.  It is, though, a quality of mine that I am (not so much anymore) privately very proud to have. 

Here's hoping that someone else who happens to be reading it might draw at least a bit of inspiration out of this post.

Come on Sox, let's deliver the knockout punch Monday night in Tampa Bay...
