I am happy that I found the Sanctuary again.

I am happy for this thread. It is good to distract the mind away from problems with good thoughts.

Thank you all for sharing yours!!!

Your friend.....sally

I liked this thread so much that I began it on the BT#1 forum in Chronic Pain. Positive thought gives a short respite from pain, and I thought it would go well there.

Thanks.....sally

I am happy because you were inspired by this thread to share being happy with others Sally

Well, all three of my favorite football teams won this weekend:
Oswego High School won 42-6 in the first round of the state playoffs.
Notre Dame eked out a win in the final seconds.
Chicago Bears romped over the Forty-Niners 41-10.

It may only be football, and nothing of real lasting consequence, but at this point in my life, I'll take whatever positive thing I can scrounge up... those few positive instances are so elusive and fleetingly transient...


Much love and

I turned on the TV yesterday, and the channel was airing a rerun of a January 17 broadcast of the sitcom "Scrubs" I hadn't seen before.

I like that show because it makes me laugh - but they also throw in some good life lessons to think about.

I almost fell out of my chair when J.D. told his patient she has Systemic Familial Amyloidosis!

Having such a rare disease sometimes makes me feel like a freak. Being hereditary, it makes me feel like no one in this country cares what happens to me. It makes me feel like the only ones interested are people who want me dead - so they can dissect me into pieces and possibly make a name for themselves.

That episode put a face on the disease, with a reminder not to give up on us - we're human beings, just like everyone else. We may be prepared to die, but we'd prefer to live - and not have everyone turn their backs on us.

Thanks for acknowleding us, J.D. and Dr. Cox - always knew you were special (even if you're not real).
