Gratitude I was told a long time ago when I was tempted to start a pity party to grab a piece of paper and make a gratitude list that it would turn my mood around. It's one of the best tools I have now.
Even if it's just the basics like a roof over my head and food in my belly
I do have so much to be thankful for and that is what keeps me going.
First a friend who told me about this board many months ago .....knowing I can come on here any time of day and read all the hope that is here For all those who do the research, even if I can't understand what it means at least I know there is research being done.
For the first PM I got, it kept me coming back here.
My husband, I don't know what I'd do without him and his ability to make me laugh even when I'm in all this pain.
My friends and family for trying to understand and helping me do the things I used to be able to do on my own. They help without taking my dignity away.
My sister who is coming home from Iraq next month...safe and sound...after being gone for over a year from her own children and husband. She has been an inspiration to me.
My first grandbaby is due in September...it's a girl. I can't wait to meet her.
My camera, for helping me focus on the beauty that is all around me.
My PM doctor who has stood by me in all my denial and frustration.
I could go on and on....and I am thankful for that
Thanks Ada for making me stop and think
