once again so true! i can honestly say i see mine as a blessing, because there are certain things i just would not have realised with out the past 2.5 yrs
without adversity and struggle,we never truly learn empathy and compassion..
yet it is so sad that some of us do not wish to learn empathy or compassion
I agree also. My illness has made me a better person in ways. It has made me see things I had always missed before and to appreciate things more. I used to condemn God for my illness, but have learned to see it as a blessing in disguise instead. It has made me stronger for sure.
Excellent words to live by..How are you doing Doug?
