The truth is, I have one good day out of every 14. At least that’s what I’m calculating as I follow my symptoms and progress. One day every two weeks when I have energy, feel excited about work, family, life. The other 13 days are a mixed bag of napping, weak legs and fatigue. When I’m not feeling well, I really struggle. But when I’m feeling good, I am GREAT!
On this Thanksgiving day, I’m not feeling great. I’m feeling about half. But it’s Thanksgiving, isn’t it? This is a day to remember what has helped get us through the last year, the last decade, and, if we’re being honest, your entire life! When you reflect back, really look at every event, every moment, you’ll realize you didn’t make it this far on your own! You have been surrounded with friends, family, co-worker, neighbors, and pets!
In the wise, very quotable words of my friend, David Frame, “I survive change by relying on others. Accepting their gifts. Seeing how I can improve. Still learning to love. Still learning to accept love. Challenge change by uncovering what you might not have seen otherwise.“
On this Thanksgiving Day, may we also rely on others, accept their gifts, and continually learn to love.
Happy Thanksgiving!
