A few things I have learned

Several things I have learned.
One of the most important things I do now is say thank you. I always said thank you a lot, but now I do it for everything. I receive so much help in many small ways and now I am careful to express my thanks.

I have learned to accept the outpouring of love and concern that is sent to me. I am thankful for it, but even more I accept it and let it help me deal with my condition. I was unsure how to respond to these expressions at first, but now I let them fill me with joy. I have also learned how grand people are. The cards, emails, visits fill me with joy and show me the fine side of so many people

I have learned to characterize many acts and bits of news as great or good. Before I just listened. Whatever was nice but that was about it. Now I invest myself in the news and respond in a positive way.

I really enjoy these three aspects of this time in my life and I am glad I have had the time to become aware of them and act on them.
