When I was only 12 years old, my father, who I dearly adored, died of bone and brain cancer after a year's stay in an excellent hospital. A few years ago, my mother passed away due to cancer, alcohol abuse, stress and poor self-management. Now, I have no living immediate family members, no children of my own, very little contact with family relatives and an occasionally strange reputation to boot!! Now, to my dismay, I find myself becoming what some might call "an old maid."

My brother once gave me a coffee mug that I often use. It says, "God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference." I sometimes wonder why Reinhold Niebuhr wrote those words. It is very difficult for me to understand that some of life's events will surely be out of my personal control. I can accept the fact that I had no options over the unfortunate deaths of my immediate family. But, am I at fault for having epilepsy and ruining any possibility of having a meaningful relationship with someone in the future? Over the years, I've done extensive research in personal / self-help psychology, but my self-esteem is in current turmoil, to say the least!

After intricate brain surgery at Stanford a couple years ago, I found a book called, The Survival Personality by Al Siebert, PH.D. Part of it says, "A few, however, reach within themselves and find ways to cope with the adversity...(they have) an amazing capacity for surviving crises and extreme difficulties....They thrive by gaining strength from adversity and often convert misfortune into a gift."

Somehow, those words affected me. I knew I had a very successful surgical recovery. But why? How was I able to become stronger with each passing day? I was aware that this type of intricate medical procedure could possibly make other neurology patients feel as though there was nothing to live for. How could anyone rationally think that personal misfortune could actually be a gift in disguise? One day, while watching a talk show in my hospital room, I heard a guest say, "Don't ever give up on yourself and don't surrender!" I've since had those words framed and hanging in a prominent area of my apartment.

After a while, I started getting bored with always being emotionally depressed about my current lifestyle. My negative self-value began to change after I read a part of Patricia Cleghorn's book, "The Secrets of Self-Esteem" entitled, "You deserve to be happy." It says, "You are not here to suffer. Yet sometimes you may notice that when you're happy and contented at least for some continous period of time you find yourself wondering if it's too good to be true."(p. 10) There's a part of Cam that wants people to sympathize with her. Another side of her says, "Hey, everybody, I'm really suffering from emotional wounds. Maybe a 12-step program is the only sure thing that will cure me!" Then my inner voice said, "Cam, only you and no one else are responsible for your self-improvement and esteem." I felt rather frightened by hearing that outburst. However, it was my general belief that when possible, try it. It might actually make sense and be useful!

Cleghorn continues, "Yet we are very often harsh with ourselves, not pausing to see how we can treat ourselves well....Treating yourself well is part of having high self-esteem." (p. 11) Perhaps, the lyrics to the song I mentioned earlier, "Why am I uncertain, unsettled, unsure of myself...?" could also mean, "Cam, why are you so harsh with yourself?" Perhaps, a meaningful answer to all of us is that we do, indeed, deserve personal happiness. No matter how difficult it may be to obtain. I continue to learn that even though my personal and spiritual path may be blinded by many obstacles, I'll somehow persevere in finding a clear, open and positive field of enlightened dreams.

I continue to learn that nothing in life is simple or easily recognizable. Many years ago, when Neil Armstrong became the first man to land on the moon, I remember him saying, "One small step for man. One giant leap for mankind." Little by little, Cam is learning to be more gentle and honest with herself. Reviewing her mistakes and achievements with less negativity. She's beginning to have a more positive outlook on her future life while maintaining a healthy sense of reality. There's a phrase I always keep handy, "When the Going Gets Tough, the Tough Start Laughing." I'll always remember the way my father laughed and slapped his knee! Perhaps, a healthy sense of humor should be a primary ingredient in everyone's idea of personal self-worth!!!

I'll make errors as I continue to learn the true nature of my strengths and weaknesses. And, I have a fear of the unknown. Some say that life is just beginning at 50 years of age. Perhaps, they're right!

And then I invented cold fusion!
