Dear Jeremy,

You, my friend have a gift. Through your pain you have found a positive creative part of you that you may have never known existed. Keep writing, continue to explore the good things that you can do. On a really bad pain day, I wild out in the kitchen. I did not know I was such an exquisite cook. Actually, my family makes jokes about my pain days because they know when they are served a five course meal that I had a bad day. I use to just lay on the couch and report to each one of them that they were on their own for dinner because I had a bad day! Then I realized my gift, and the joy it brought to the hearts of the ones I love and I challenge myself to use that gift every chance I can.

I have to take my medication, I cannot stand on my feet long so I take a lot of breaks, and my pain is really bad afterwards, however I discovered that whether I cooked or didn’t the pain was about the same and I was able to share something that I can do with my loved ones. Please keep writing, share your gift as you have, you have comforted many hearts today and nothing is forever, we are all just a part of the puzzle that hasn’t been solved yet!

God Bless, and looking forward to reading more.

Jeanie
