One of the GREAT secrets of life is to be grateful! You must be thankful everyday for the things and people you do have in your life! I know most of us want more, but that is hard to happen if we are not thankful for what we already have! This image says it all:
After I left the hospital, and relearned to walk, I occasionally find myself just saying thank you! I am so grateful for the ability to stand and walk! I cannot even describe how scary it is to be not able to stand or walk. Last summer I also got the ability to drive again. I could not drive for 2 1/2 years! I am thankful for that everyday!
One of the best ways to show your gratitude is to keep a gratitude journal. Every day write 5 things you are grateful for. You might be surprised! Also don't wait to lose something then realize how much you miss it. I used to have perfect vision before MS. I now have optic nerve damage, and when it is hard to see I wonder if I ever appreciated my perfect vision? I don't think I ever did!
So in a nutshell be grateful for the people and things in your life! Good things will come from it!
