Fortunately, my SFN is pretty mild and not progressing very rapidly. While I haven't been "forced" to make many changes, I have found it helpful to let go of the little things that used to get me angry or stressed out. As a result, I'm finding more pleasure in the simple things. I don't need a Caribbean cruise to make me happy - a quiet night with family or friends is now just as satisfying.

So I guess in some strange way, at least a little good has come from this curse.
