This is worth the read (thanks Sharni for the share). I think I cause the occasional slight surprise to people when they observe how relaxed and happy I still am, living with a life threatening illness (but you look so well). Sure, you have your down days, but they dont come all too often. I have gone through some dark moments, and I still have flat days, but thats all part of accepting and embracing what this is but still being able to move forward. I seem to have some sort of automated mechanism that lifts me up. A lot of that is self belief, general faith, and the support of so many. Of course I take my situation seriously, but I dont let the disease define me. I will do what I can to enable change for my situation, and that of others with this disease, but I will not wallow in self absorbed pity and grief. Adopting that kind of attitude does not change anything. I, like most woman, have a desire to want to want to feel and look pretty, and be relatively normal so I will make an effort to dress nicely and put my face on (makeup), so no matter how iffy I may feel, my inner self feels much better once I tend to my outer self. I am incredibly grateful for the normality that I do have in my life, as I appreciate how easily simple things and simple abilities can be taken away from you. No matter how you feel, get up, dress up, and get out there! Seriously, life goes on. Make the most of every opportunity when you can. Life is about moments, happiness and fulfilment. Happiness, IS a choice. Live, Laugh and Love.
