Sometimes it's hard to enjoy life. I think the a great gift from God is to be grateful for what you have. I used to think if I was grateful, I might not get anymore!
At my lowest point during adriamycin last year, I got on Dr Bernie Siegel's website and just dumped all my fear and anger. Dr Siegel answered and told me to repeat over and over "I am grateful for all that I have. I have everything I need. I don't need a thing." I thought he was absolutely nuts. But I had nothing to lose, so I did it anyway. Eventually, it helped me a lot. I realized that the "everything I need" wasn't material. I have everything I need inside me to help myself. I've been pretty discontented for much of my life. I wish I could say that was gone forever, but now that I'm recovering from BC, the discontents are sneaking back. So I try to repeat that mantra as often as I remember.
