Whenever I feel overwhelmed or somewhat defeated by my health issues, I remind myself that you have such major health issues that can mean life or death if you're not careful, yet you still manage to be pleasant, hopeful, and stay upbeat even within your limitations. More, you still find joy in your world.

So it reminds me that I have no excuse for allowing the hits that knock me over to keep me down. When necessary, I tolerate short intervals of feeling down, but then dust myself off and keep going forward, one step at a time. My Dad used to say often that even the longest, most difficult journeys happen by taking one step at a time and not worrying yourself with how many more steps there are, but celebrating every step completed instead.

I'm glad for you that you can do that and have such a great attitude!
