I can look back objectively and admit that there were blessings wrapped up in this horrible disease 1) I learned how to fight - that will serve me well the rest of my life 2) I learned there are things worth fighting for 3) I learned there's a whole bunch of things that aren't. This one is a biggie! Many things I thought were so dang important before didn't amount to squat. I'm much better at letting the little stuff go and most stuff is little.
I really am a different person now and can't imagine living life like the old me
