Hey after dealing with some of the more sad and upsetting topics today that way too many of us Pain patients deal with every min of every day for yrs and yrs.... I wanted to tell you all.... We are having a very Thunder Storm summer here in Salt Lake City. These are one of the things I still get so excited about and go outside and watch with my g-son the lightening in the sky at night..... They are so full of raw energy and are so exciting.... and so I am going out to listen and watch this one that the Nt'l weather service just warned us about and love feeling free of my other rality for a while.. Let us share what are we doing to lift ourselves up out what daily brings us down...!!!!!!!

Keep up the awesome replies ...... We all deserve to be the happiest people on earth. With all the pain we experience and the sometimes devastating extended experiences because of our medical issues..... with family and friends not accepting our new limitations...... not being able to work anymore for a living wage...... Living with significant others, intimate relationships...... misinformed or ignorant Doctors...... and others....... we watch relations dwindling in the aftermath of all the insanity this medical issue sometimes brings for us to deal with............... we need to remember we are valued human beings deserving of.................. pain free moments and more...... happy moments and more........ peaceful and serene moments and more.............. respect from all others and our dignity intact and more................. Awesome life experiences of all kinds and more........ Love love love and more........ Our dreams coming true and more....... Abundance of All of Life's Pleasures and All the Love Energy the Universe Has Supporting Us and MORE..............
We are not "less-than" we were.... We have an added sympathy and empathy for any living creature experiencing suffering of any kind....... because of our pain experiences have nurtured us toward this way of seeing living and life.
Please.... Please remember ...... to look for...............
and so............... find the things in life which nurture you to feel good.... Ole Patch Adams said... laughter is the best medicine. I have found in my life that I seem to always find what I am looking for............ whether it be happiness or sadness .... I will find what I am focusing upon.finding.
Love you all!

My family is kind of "hunkered down" today. There's a LOT going on right now (beyond my pain), and none of it is good.

But I'm happy in the way that we've turned toward each other for strength and support. Yes, we're each in the foxhole, but we're not fighting alone. Somehow, we're closer for it.

These storms will pass.

Today I made a friend that also has cp and I now have a face to face person that can understand what I say and I can understand what she says.
No more looks from old friends that just dont get cp and why I need to take those terrible pills and why I dont leave the house much.
Its scary and at the same time , it makes me happy.
My dogs and my daughter also make me verrrrrry happy.
